I started taking Prestalia 3.5-2.5mg Tablets a few months ago to manage my high blood pressure. The combination of perindopril and amlodipine has been effective in lowering my blood pressure, but I've also experienced some troubling side effects. The drug information lists some severe side effects that are rare but can be life-threatening. I have to say, that list is pretty scary. I hope none of you experience those! If you do, call 911. I've had a persistent cough and some dizziness, which are listed as less severe side effects, but they're still uncomfortable, especially since I'm so active. I've talked to my doctor about it, and she's monitoring my condition closely. My doctor also reminded me that it is important to report any side effects to the FDA at 1-800-332-1088 or online at https://www.fda.gov/medwatch, even if they seem minor. Have any of you had similar experiences with this medication? It would be great to hear some other perspectives.

Just make sure you're checking in with your doctor regularly and report any side effects. Don't let it intimidate you but take note of any of those symptoms listed in the side effects.

I switched from taking Lisinopril to taking Prestalia, and I feel much better!

I've heard that some people experience severe dizziness or fainting with this medication. If anyone has advice on how to deal with that, I'd love to hear it.

Stay vigilant and be aware of your body. If something doesn't feel right, trust your instincts and talk to your doctor. There are other medications out there if this one isn't working out.

I think it's really important to monitor your blood pressure regularly if you're on this medication. I check mine daily and it's helped me stay on top of any changes. I've had a few scares, but talking to my doctor has always put my mind at ease.

My mom had to take this when her doctor advised it. She had a lot of issues with her blood pressure. She said the Prestalia kept it in check. I'm glad it works for some people, but I hope the side effects go away soon!

I had a really bad reaction to this drug. I had a high fever, sore throat and chills within a week of starting. I stopped taking it and called the doctor right away. Turns out, I was having an allergic reaction. They switched me to something else, and I've been fine since. Just wanted to share my story so others can be aware.
