HBP medication
I' m on Ziak 2.5mg for bp but it' s not doing the job. Now Dr. wants to up the dose to 5mg. What r the normal side effects of Ziak. I' ve been getting pains in my legs + feet since starting on this medication 4 mths ago. Could this b one of the side effects? My average bp reading is still in the region of 160/90.
Pharmacist
Yes, the pain is indeed a potential side-effect of ziak - Speak to your doc regarding an alternative treatment as soon as possible to get that BP down
