I have been on Avalide for 3 months. This is the first PB medicine that has worked without bad side effects. I was on Cozaar, Benicar, Lisinopril and a few others that made me feel awful...with these, side effects included dizzy, leg and muscle cramps, tired, ankle swelling. I have no side effects from Avalide. Insurance co pay is higher because it's not generic, but worth it.

I've been on this medication for 5 years and was initially given it to counter the effects of another BP med that I no longer need. It does work in keeping my BP in a normal range. Side effects - frequent and urgent urination (that's the diuretc at work) and lightheadness if I have a very trying day at work, but overall the side effects are not bad. My only problem recently is being able to get the prescription filled. Seems the manufacture was having some distribution issues.
