Before cozaar my BP was 190/150. After a month of cozaar my BP was just measured at the doctors office as 190/150. My body defeated cozaar! You people making all these comments about your lowered BP should be embarrassed. I am proud I defeated cozaar and ashamed you didn't!

For me Cozaar has lowered my bloodpressure, but I have to supplement the cozaar tablet (100mg)daily dose, with a Norvasc 5mg tablet each day. My blood pressure numbers now average the 130's over the 80's. Previous to any medication I averaged the 150's/160's over 90 to 96. My doctor is happy with the new numbers made possibe by the two medications. I am a 61 yr. old, six feet tall, average weight of 195 lbs. white male, with a family history of hypertension, both mother and father. The down side of taking both medications for me is a daily sluggish feeling that can be overcome, but not without pushing myself through it. However, from my hypertension research, lowering my bloodpressure is a fair trade-off to the side effects I experience from taking the combined medications.Read More Read Less

I have experienced no side effects and it has treated my high systolic pressure that is caused by my aorta not closing properly. All other's tried caused side effects including constipation and migraine.
