| 5 | Hypertension | No adverse side effects. In fact, I feel better, have more energy and it has not affected my libido like other BP medicines . | F | 56 | 30 days | 8/26/2006 | 1 | Hypertension | Insomnia, nausea, diarrhea, heavy feeling in legs, irregular heartbeat. | My problems were due to excess potassium in my blood. It took 3 months of Cozaar to cause the potassium build up. Doctor was absolutely no help in diagnosis. It took me 4 more months of feeling miserable to finally figure out the problem. Side effects disappeared within 4 days of stopping Cozaar. | F | 52 | 7 months | 8/11/2006 | 1 | hypertension | Blurred vision within 6 hours after taking. immediately stopped taking Cozaar and informed prescribing doctor. | M | 72 | 2 days | 8/2/2006 | 1 | hypertension | impotency, depression, anxious. | NOT a good fit for me, after being off it for a week now I am still unable to maintain a full erection and still have brief periods of nerves. | M | 45 | 1 weeks | 7/19/2006 | 1 | hypertension | I have immediate reaction in form of severe headache, cold sweat, nause and vomitting. | M | 47 | 1 days | 7/19/2006 | 5 | hypertension | None | I took 50 mg for 6 yrs, still had high numbers. Doc upped me to 100 mg, numbers looking good. Interestingly, very first night on 100mg, slept like a baby and that has continued for 3 weeks. Sorry for you folks that have experienced insomnia! | M | 47 | 6 years | 7/14/2006 | 5 | hypertension | none | I am on 100mg and have been for 4 years with no side effects at all | M | 55 | 4 years | 6/28/2006 | 4 | High Blood Pressure | anaphylactic reaction to yellow jacket sting (collapse; responded to orally administered benadryl) | lowered my blood pressure, but not worth the risk for me in the summertime (I had been stung many times previous to taking Cozaar) | M | 34 | 5 years | 6/15/2006 | 3 | high blood pressure | cough | F | 50 | 1 months | 5/26/2006 | 4 | hypertension | Some dizziness, but worse, a sudden drop in bp that caused me to pass out at the wheel and crash into a ditch. My dr. had prescribed too high a dosage, 100 mg. I now cut it in half and am fine. | My bp is fine now, so it does work | F | 49 | 600 days | 5/17/2006 | 1 | Hypertension | Cough, impotence, diarrhea, headaches. | Dr put me on it for hypertension, had to keep increasing the dose and my BP kept increasing. What a waste of money. Put me on Diovan and BP dropped to what doctor thought it should be at. Much fewer effects with Diovan, specifically impotence. | M | 33 | 4 months | 5/2/2006 | 2 | high pp | hyzaar 100 took for 8 months, up from 50, lowered pp to 110 over-60-65 was tired all the time. Hart was fluttering dizzy couldn't sleep. Had to go to hospital thay ran test found out it was damaging my liver. Dr. took me off of it and I felt normal. BB was staying in the 132/83 adv. daily with no med. except htz 20mg. BB has high of 154's/ 87-91 and lowes of 120's/ | 70's but adv. at end of [taken ramdonly 7 times daily] day adv. as above. | M | 63 | 8 months | 3/16/2006 | 5 | hypertension | no side effects at all | blood pressure went from 150/95 to 125/75 in 28 days tried ace, and betas with no results in my high BP and bad side effects gave cozaar a try and im very pleased with it after trying several other hypertension meds... my reccomendation is to give it try and see if it works for you | M | 48 | 28 days | 2/24/2006 | 1 | high blood pressure | my blood pressure went up using 50 mg dose and when it was doubled to 100 it rose even more it did not work for me | F | 60 | 3 weeks | 2/18/2006 | 5 | To lower blood presure | no side effect. Tried another drug and it made feel dazzy all the time. Came back to Cozaar now. | Cozaar made my presure dropped from 140/90 to below 110/70. Will try 25mg/day to see how it works. | M | 54 | 2 years | 2/6/2006 | 4 | High Blood Pressure | Main side effect that bothers me is coughing. Usually just an occasional cough or two but sometimes have what I'd describe as coughing "fits", during which I'll cough to the point of vomiting. Daytime fatigue, nightime insomnia. Sinus/nasal problems. | It IS effective in lowering my blood pressure, but the side effects are bothersome. | M | 41 | 2 years | 2/3/2006 | 4 | High Blood Pressure | I feel very tired trhoughout the day. I also feel a little depressed for no reason. I had to take a day off from work becasue I was so tired. | I did have 140/90. It is down to 133/84. It seems to work but, I don't feel right. It is hard to explain. | M | 27 | 3 weeks | 1/25/2006 | 2 | hi BP | I had some wired coughing and choking sensation 6 month after taking it, my doctor stopped cozzar and put me on some other stuff. After one week, I still have the caught, so not really sure if was caused by cozaar. | I seems pretty harmless | M | 43 | 8 months | 1/22/2006 | 5 | High Blood Pressure | No side effects noted! I'm very pleased and happy with Cozaar. | M | 46 | 2 years | 1/11/2006 | 2 | hypertension | head & throat feels congested similar to having a cold, hands & feet cold, dizziness, GI bloating, peristalsis & nausea,some confusion. | BP systolic variable,mostly 130-150 range per mo. with two 122 & 172 & one 110/59. It controls the diastolic - mostly in the 60's; however this was never a problem. On the Med.D program, it costs more than the regular pharmacy rate. Hardly worth the price & side effects!!! | F | 70 | 6 weeks | 1/11/2006 |
