My husband has developed major problems after being on the active ingredient in this drug and after only a few weeks. Back, leg, knee, shoulder pain came on all at once. He's running low grade fevers now and can barely get out of bed in the AM. Having blood work done as we speak to find source.<quoted text>It seems that noone is responding to this board but I thought I would try again. Has anyone out there had bone pain from Benicar HCT? It seems that exercising is creating a problem with leg pain and this is a new symptom. Don't know if it is from Benicar or something else. I would be interested in any feedback.
This side affect wasn't mentioned in the brochure of the drug my husband took but it did appear in literature re: the clinical trials of Benicar, which is the active ingredient of the drug my husband took. More severe problems regarding bone/muscle pain appeared post marketing. Again none of that was in the brochure either.
He's been off for a couple weeks and is still deteriorating.
Prior to this he was active, went from sun up to sun down. Now he's a broken guy and can barely work.
Anyone else out there suffering at this level?
