Has anyone experienced severe side effects from Diovan HCT 320mg/12.5mg Tablets?

I was prescribed Diovan HCT 320mg/12.5mg Tablets for my high blood pressure. I've heard about some serious side effects, and I'm a bit worried. Has anyone else taken this medication and, if so, how did you handle the side effects? Also, what should I do if I notice symptoms like severe dizziness or vision changes?

I have to take my meds with food. I got so sick when I didn't take it with food and had to go to the ER. So now I always have the meds with food and stick to a routine. It helps me avoid those severe side effects and other bad issues.

I had to stop taking it because it caused me to develop blood in my urine. Scary stuff. Definitely talk to your doctor if you notice anything like that.

Man, I hated this stuff. Gave me the worst headaches. I switched to another medication and never looked back.

If you feel any severe dizziness, you should probably call your doctor immediately. I had come by and told me I had high blood sugar and they adjusted my meds. But because of those symptoms, I was able to catch it early.

I think you should write a letter to the FDA and tell them they need to make this stuff safer. Everyone knows someone who's had issues.
