Reported Results |
| Benefits: | | My blood pressure levels were controlled quite well. However, they spike from time to time, not dropping until I take another dose. |
| Side effects: | | There were no side effects that I am aware of. |
| Comments: | | The medication was prescribed to control symptoms of high blood pressure and water
retention that I was experiencing.
I was also advised to adhere to a low-sodium diet and to exercise moderately. This and taking the medication faithfully has served well to decrease high blood
pressure symptoms. However, water retention has not significantly reduced. |
