Your reply is appreciated. I do recognize that everyone is individual in how they react to a drug - and, therefore I guess my husband (this question was for him) will just have to take it and see what happens. He's currently on Monopril w/o side effect except weight gain, but in another post someone mentioned not drinking enough water could cause this because of the addition of lasix to his routine. Anyway, Ill check the other thread on diovan. Thanks for the lead. Hope everyone has a safe and happy Memorial Day weekend.
