Dyazide Reviews
For High Blood Pressure "I had a very bad reaction to Dyazide for high blood pressure. After 3 days, I was overwhelmed by disorientation, heart palpitations, muscle cramps in my feet and legs, dizziness, and nausea. Although I was drinking a great deal of water, I was found to be severely dehydrated with electrolyte imbalance."
For Edema "I break a 50 mg tablet in half and take the half every other day. It really works, and I find I need to increase my liquid intake, particularly on the days I take the 1/2 tablet, otherwise, I tend to have some muscular cramping. This is especially true in leg muscles."
For High Blood Pressure "I am a 52-year-old female and have been on Dyazide for 10 days. I have had no side effects from the medication, and edema in my leg has cleared up completely. I have also lost 12 pounds of water weight. Blood pressure has improved, but still higher than it should be."
For High Blood Pressure "I am a 47-year-old female who was recently diagnosed with high BP. My NP started me out on Losartan and I experienced terrible side effects. My mom suggested I take what she's taken for 23 years--Dyazide. I got that from Dr and have been taking Dyazide for 3 weeks and it is great! It has lowered my BP from around 140/90 to 115/65. Also NO side effects. It is a small, light green, oblong pill."
For High Blood Pressure "I am 39 years old, my doctor prescribed this medicine to help lower my blood pressure. From the first day, it made me very nauseous to the point of vomiting. It also made me feel dizzy, lightheaded, and short of breath. I stopped taking it after 4 days and felt better. My doctor is switching me to an ACE inhibitor instead... hoping it will be better than this one."
For High Blood Pressure "I was on Maxide years ago when first diagnosed with hypertension, it did not work for me. I was finally put on Dyazide which had worked for 20 years. I moved to NC where Maxide is used, while I understand they are supposed to be the same, my BP is 160/90 right now. Maxide does not work for me, and I don't understand why."
For High Blood Pressure "I had taken Dyazide for years. Couple of years ago during the pandemic, pharmacist informed me that it was being discontinued. Switched over to Triamtrene. This is not working. My blood pressure has shot up and lowered so many months. I think I have gotten a bad batch of medicine. Even had to go to the hospital. I have lost weight and blood pressure is getting higher and higher. I am not diabetic. There is such a thing that if you don't report it, your doctor just lets it go in one ear and out the other. Any one else have issues with this generic?"
For High Blood Pressure "Stopped after two days on med. Very bad shortness of breath, nausea and feeling lightheaded. I now have a cough. I am in my 2nd day of not taking the drug and hope I start feeling better. Very bad!!"
For High Blood Pressure "The best! I was able to drop all of my other medications with the help of this drug."
