Prexum 4mg Side Effects
(Newest replies first)

Started using Prexum approx. 6 months ago...have not had a day without a severe headache (migraine). Dr says it's not the Prexum. Especially when coughing..feels like head wants to explode! Also have muscular spasms when coughing....has anyone had similar experience?

Please don't just stop, Rather go and see your doctor, and ask him/her to prescribe something else. If you have stopped altogether, I do recommend that you try the hibiscus tea, and also take 1000mg of omega 3 every day. Omega 3 assists in lowering bp also, but also can assist in preventing blood clots. I am not a doctor, but have a medical background. (nursing) These things have worked for me, and perhaps they might work for you. Hope this helps you. Take care

Hibiscus tea assists in lowering blood pressure. Ten flowers soaked in boiled water for a half hour. Strain the flowers and add lemon juice and sweetener to taste. Drink three cups per day. I make a large amount, and freeze it in small mineral water bottles. If you are unable to access hibiscus flowers, you should be able to get the tea online. You can drink it hot or cold. I prefer it cold, and it is very refreshing. Hope this helps.

I recently started with prexum and have been feeling horrible (nausea, headache shaky and dreadfully tired) and gaining weight. Is it just my body adapting? Will it normalize again? My blood pressure is perfect now.

Re: Edmund (# 11)

Thanks for this! I've been experiencing exactly the same.

Now I don't take the BP reading unless I feel ill. It boggles your mind when it's high..Then u stress, and it increases!

I'm changing my Lifestyle to a Healthier one. Life is precious and very short!

Too short to be Ill all the time.

I agree doctors dont realise the side effects to these drugs cost you your life with no one wanting to help they think these symtoms are in your head these companies should be a ashamed off their selves to what they put patients through

I had flu , so thought this ongoing cough was from that.
My husband could not take the continuous coughing at night never mind during the day. Stopped the Prixum and after about 10 days coughing stopped .

Don't let doctors tell you it's not Prezum. I am on it for last 3 months and dropped it 2 days ago. I had all the side effects listed. Loss of appetite, vision, taste, headache like migraine, bad bad coughing, wheezing, all of that. I had to do emergency treatment over the weekend far away from doctors. I had to use Venteeze, allergy pills, etc. to get through the past 3 days. I'm already better since stopping the use of Prexum. Although I'm still coughing now and again and chest still feels a bit tight. I'll NEVER ever use stuff like this again. Don't know what I'll do about my high blood pressure, but I've had it with this stuff. The scary thing is that GPs can prescribe it whenever they want and they don't even know the side effects.

l am taking Prexum 4MG for more than 10 years now,and have not had not any side
effects, but lately l get a itchy skin rash. Now l have been reading in a medical magazine
that blood pressure tablets,like Prexum 4MG, contain HCT which could be the cause.
Is that possible, and is there any truth in it.

Hi, my name is Edmund and I also use Prexum for 14 years now. I have a dry cough and tired quiet often. what I find has helped a lot to monitor my BP is a cuff BP monitor. I actually keep 2 handy. When I feel a headache I take my BP and if it is normal I take a Panado or 2, if a little high I take a teaspoon of chopped garlic with a glass of milk. It brings the BP down by at least 10 points. What I also find is that the BP cuff monitor acts as a "calm down pill". When I go into a mild panic I take my BP and when it is normal I calm down to a point where everything is normal again. I hope this helps.
