| Dosage & duration: | | 50 mg taken one time a day for the period of over 9 years |
| Other conditions: | | Crohn's disease |

Reported Results |
| Benefits: | | Within a few weeks of starting, my pressure was under control and has remained that way for over 5 years. |
| Side effects: | | I had no side effects that I noticed. |
| Comments: | | I was diagnosed with high blood pressure (145/90) over 10 years ago, a few years after experiencing early menopause. Severe headaches were also commmon. First treatment: dietary changes and increasing daily exercise--not adequate; in fact, it increased. I was prescribed Cozaar, 50 mg/day, with the reminder that the first dosage tried was rarely the correct one. In my case, it was and I get checked now every 6 months. My blood pressure stays around 118/70 range. |
