   Irbersartan appears to have been one of the most sucessful drugs I have taken for high blood pressure (I have been treated for high blood pressure for over thiry years).

   My only problem now is that I have very painful knees. I have visited a pysiotherapist who assures my that the pain is not from the knees themselves but muscles/ligaments and thinks that the pain will eventually go away. I feel that the pain could be connected to my taking Ibersartan, although I have been taking it for sometime.

   I am a 67 year old male with esstential hypertension since age 32 yrs I have taken a number of different medications over the years I am physically fit - although I have a gleason 3+4 prostate localised - medication for 10 + years

   IRBESARTAN 150mg - AMLODIPINE 10mg and either PROPRANOLOL 40mg x 2 or Atenolol 10mg x 1 - side effects ? suffered cramps in toes and legs at night recently Dr changed me over to CARVEDILOL 6.25 mg x2 I have deveoloped painful knees paralysis above and below the left knee and pain down left thigh - I have had extensive tests scans CAT XRAYS ETC no result all clear not thought to be due to Prostate cancer my next test is for a scan on the blood supply to that area. Maybe CARVEDILOL has increased the effect of one of my medications.

   I have had severe back pain since taking this drug - I am sure it effects ligaments and muscles. Cant get anyone to listen to me though!
