User Comments about Prevpac
16 Aug 2012 I am 66 years old. This is the fourth day that I have been taking PREVPAC. Starting from day one I experienced a nasty bitter taste which I have been able to reduce for only a few minutes by taking a spoon or two ice cream or sucking a sweet candy. In addition, my blood pressure has gone up by about 15 mm Hg and mu pulse rate has increased by 35 count per minute.
