A FAMILY HISTORY
0:07
Lucinda:
My name is Lucinda. I am a journalist and I have a company called the Frugal Socialite. When I met Kemry, I became a true Washingtonian.
0:17
Kemry:
Lucinda's one of the most dynamic people I've ever met.
0:21
Kemry:
Okay, on three. One, two, three.
0:27
Kemry:
We're married, we're coming up on our third year and we have a son who will be two years next month.
0:32
Lucinda:
Good! You clicked all by yourself.
0:36
Lucinda:
K3 has come into our lives and has really blended in and become a part of the team.
0:43
Lucinda:
I grew up watching different members of my family take their blood pressure pills, and so it just seemed to me that it was something you did when you were "old". And I thought because I was more knowledgeable of better cooking techniques that I would not be a candidate.
1:00
Kemry:
She loves her vegetables; in particular, salads. I tell her a lot of times she's eating rabbit food. I would've never imagined she would have had an issue with high blood pressure.
1:12
Kemry:
Alright. Who's that?
K3:
Cat!
1:15
Lucinda:
I purchased a high blood pressure monitor because we decided, or maybe I should say I decided that Kemry was going to get healthy. So the whole blood pressure project was never about me. I don't want to be the poster child for it. But in many ways, maybe the fact that I look atypical will help other people.
---------------------------------
EXFORGE is a prescription medication for the treatment of high blood pressure. It may be used when one medicine to lower your high blood pressure is not enough. It may also be used as the first medicine to lower high blood pressure if your doctor decides you are likely to need more than one medicine.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
What is the most important information I should know about EXFORGE?
If you become pregnant, stop taking EXFORGE and call your doctor right away. EXFORGE can harm an unborn baby causing injury and even death. If you plan to become pregnant, talk to your doctor about other treatment options to lower your blood pressure before taking EXFORGE.
Serious side effects could occur such as:
- Low blood pressure (hypotension). Lie down if you feel faint or dizzy and call your doctor right away.
- Worsening chest pain (angina) or heart attack, particularly in patients who already have severe heart disease. Get emergency help if you get worse chest pain or chest pain that does not go away.
- Kidney problems, changes in blood test results for patients with congestive heart failure, or allergic reactions. Call your doctor if you get swelling in your feet, ankles, or hands or unexplained weight gain.
Side effects are usually mild and brief. The most common side effects that occur more frequently with EXFORGE than placebo (sugar pill) are swelling of the hands, ankles, or feet; nasal congestion or sore throat, head or chest cold; and dizziness.
The EXFORGE patients, their physicians, and members of their support network are real and have been compensated for their time.
