I was on this medication for several years. i had been diagnosised with CHF prior to taking it, but since taking it I have had a lot of problems.

Cons:

I've had 4 stents, and numerous hospitalizations (at least once -twice a month) for angina since being on this drug. Since I've been taken off, I've been hospitalized three times, once for angina, once for pneumonia and once for pancreatitis.

I took this for over a year, until my new Endo, took me off it, because of some negative reports, on what it can do to the heart. I don't ever remember having any adverse reaction.

Pros:

No problems

Cons:

Evidently can cause some other health problems.

Pros:

I guess if you are not allergic then this would be ok.

Cons:

Expensive like all diabetic drugs.
