| Other conditions: | | none |
| Other drugs taken: | | mvi | | |
Reported Results |
| Benefits: | | i had elevated blood pressure which was treated with different medications in the past. initially i was treated with norvasc which caused constipation. then i was treated with cozaar which did not control blood pressure well , instead it caused fluctuation of the blood pressure going from high to low over the course of the day, which made me very uncomfortable because i will sense both high and low blood pressure and have headache whether it was low or high. vasotec even in the small dose that i am taking now normalized my blood pressure , so i do not have fluctuation of the blood pressure any more. |
| Side effects: | | none |
| Comments: | | medication is taken once daily for blood pressure control.
blood pressure is very well controlled. no side effects. |
