I was recently prescribed Plendil 10mg Tablets for high blood pressure. The doctor explained that it's a calcium channel blocker and helps relax blood vessels. So far, I haven't had any issues, but I'm a bit worried about the potential side effects, especially the serious ones. Has anyone else taken this medication? Did you experience any serious side effects like allergic reactions, fast heartbeat, or severe dizziness? I'd appreciate any insights or advice.

I switched from Plendil to something else and felt better.

Just started Plendil, hoping it helps.I had to laugh when my pharmacist warned me about the gum. I thought they were joking, but apparently not.

Be careful with this one. My dad had shortness of breath and swelling in his legs. He ended up in the hospital.

I was on it for a while, and it worked fine. But I switched to a different med because my insurance would only cover the generic.

I had to stop taking it because I kept having dizzy spells. It was scary, like I was going to faint.

I had a really bad reaction to Plendil. I woke up with a rash all over my body and had trouble breathing. Turns out I was allergic to it. Had to switch to something else.

I've been on Plendil for a few months now and haven't had any serious side effects. I did get some headaches at first, but they went away after a week. My blood pressure has been much better, though!
