Tekturna

Since it only received FDA approval a month ago, I'm assuming that nobody has any experience with Tekturna yet.

My Dr. on Thursday gave me 16 week supply of Tekturna for when my Tarka runs out . I feel like a lab mouse. He said they are not making Tarka anymore.
I can't find anything about them stopping Tarka. If he is not telling me the truth it's time for a new Dr. My BP on Tarka is very good.

My endroconologist wants to put me on tekturna. i havn't heard from my dr. yet about it. endro is suppose to suggest it to him. i'm having a heck of a time on my meds right now, benicar hct and cardizem.

endro seems to thin k i will do very well on teckturna. i hope so.

Brownie, please let me know how you'r doing on it. i think i'm calling my dr. monday to find out what the delay is. it's been 3 weeks since i've seen the endro dr.. i expected to hear from my dr. by now. i'm so sick on what i'm taking now.

I've just read that this drug was tested on 1250 people for more than a year...(although about 7000 people tested the drug) and it "seemed" to have fewer side effects that other bp meds.

Bsheba, yep, i got the script filled. haven't tried it yet. it really wasn't too expensive. the company took 25. off and i paid 50some. i thought it would be much more then that.(this has not gone through my insurance yet).

When i have some time, today's not a good day, i'd really like your opinion on some things. you seem so knowledgable about so many meds. and i believe we have been on some of the same meds.

you see, right now my numbers are great on benicar, hct, and cardizem, but i never feel good. pains and nausea , can't sleep........... just can't figure out which one is doing it, if any...

so confused.......but will talk to you later, thanks in advance for listening to my rants.
