After only one week on this drug (2,5mg dosage), which was prescribed for high blood pressure, I experienced swelling of the knee joints, accompanied by pain. I understand this is "gout" caused by precipitation of uric acid in the joints. I stopped takig it immediately, but the residual symptoms are still there two weeks later. Fairly useless to give a medication for HBP that prevents the patient from walking!!!

After taking Lisinopril (see that forum!!) and suffering with many awful side effects I went on to Bendro.... 2.5mg daily and was pleased that the side effects were minimal. Some pain in my fingers which seemed to improve from a. drinking more water, b. taking the pill at night and c. avoiding tomatoes, citrus, wine etc (gouty foods).. Maybe these would help you too?
