I was recently prescribed Amlodipine-Benaz 10/40mg Capsules for my high blood pressure, and I've been taking them for about a month now. I've noticed a significant improvement in my blood pressure readings, which is great, but I've also experienced some side effects that I wanted to share with others who might be taking this medication. I've had some dizziness and a persistent cough, which I understand are common side effects, and I am sure that these will soon go away. I just want to know if anyone else is experiencing the same or if there are any tips for managing these symptoms.

I started this medication and got a horrible rash. It was so bad I had to switch to a different medication.

I've been on this medication for a while and haven't experienced any side effects. Maybe I am a lucky one, but I would like to know if anyone else has experienced weight gain?

Has anyone else noticed any significant weight gain since starting this medication? I've been trying to manage my diet and exercise, but I'm still gaining weight.

I've had a similar experience with this medication. The dizziness can be quite uncomfortable, but my doctor told me that it's usually a sign that the medication is working. He also told me that swapping from generic to brand name may affect how your body metabolizes the medication, but it's not worth risking your health over. As for the cough, it can sometimes be a side effect of benazepril, but it should go away over time. stick with it and stay hydrated.
