Lercanidipine Side Effects (Top voted first)

I recently start using Lercanidipine to reduce the diastol pressure and this product is for that effectivness. But I realized at least two or three side effects, A reduction in erectile power and a very frequent production of gas to the point that I would like to change this product for another one. I also note muscular pains in calfs and feeling of tiredness in legs.

Hello, Stan! How are you?

Those can all be common side effects of this medication, as listed by the FDA. You may also experience nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination and dry mouth.

However, side effects typically taper off in severity, as your body gets used to the medication and then eventually go away entirely. Generally, if they're lasting longer than 5 to 6 weeks, you should see your doctor and discuss possibly switching medications.

Are there any other questions or concerns?
