User Reviews for losartan-hydrochlorothiazide oral

I want a comparison to Benicar 20. I asked my doctor to prescribe a generic version.

BAD Drug

My B/P is still to high. I am taking one LOSARTAN/HCT a day and it is 100-25MG. I am also taking CAREDILOL 37.5 per. day.

I have been on Diovan for several years and our insurance company will not longer approve it so my doctor switched me to Losartan. believe me, it is no Diovan. Barely lowers pressure and the hctz part makes you feel like yo have to pee all the time and you don't hardly go. I am trying to get my doctor to prescribe me something that will work.

.. but lately I expirience coughing after taking it, dr, x-r my lungs , all is clear,my rx is called HYZAAR DS 100/25 LOSARTAN K/HCT, ALSO, i am taking WARFARIN 6mg dayly,cipralex 20 mg,plus nexium 40mg , I do not know how this all works together ,I am in pain most of the time also i am supposed to have fybromyalgia, and am 76 years old.any advise?

I have a bad metal taste in my mouth.. It has lowered my BP alot, down to normal range.. I also get alot of cramping in my muscles.. feel sluggish some of the time.. I sure wish the metal taste would go away...

I had been taking Diovan, insurance coverage changed, had to cut dosage in half as blood pressure fell too low, trouble with urine flow, pain, coughing, swelling, and leg pain. My urine test showed nothing, but it is yellow, has strong odor and I go in spurts and no normal flow. It is no substitute for Diovan, and I am quitting it today.

i use this medicine 3 week ago i feel better,i sitesfy this effectivness.

This drug has been very bad for me,very nasueasous, vomiting, very shaky and trembly

I have tried various blood pressure medicines over the last several months. I had the bad cough one, the headache one, the constipation one, etc. If Doctors really knew the side affect they would not prescribe some of the drugs. Been on this one about a month and what an improvement. So side affect that I am aware of. After about a week the medicine dropped my blood pressure down into the 'good numbers'. My only problem is staying hydrated. I guess it is the HCTZ but my system wants more fluids that I normally drink. I consider this a good problem as I probably need to drink more fluids anyhow. Good medicine for me and I would recommend you to try if the others are not bring down your pressure where you would like to see it.Read More Read Less

I have only been taking this medicine for the last two months. I started taking lisinopril/hctz and felt extreamly tired all the time. With the new meds I feel like 100 bucks again. No fatigue, i did however have some feet pain in the begining but it has since subsided.

Hydrocholorothiazide made me very depressed. I had feelings of "death" hanging over me everyday. It had the same affect on my sister and my sister-in-law. If you are taking this drug and are experiencing these symptoms. Tell your doctor you want a different drug. He won't believe its the medication but IT IS!

controlled blood pressure

I have recently been formally diagnosed w/ HBP even though I've been borderline for about six years. All the other meds that have been prescribed have made me feel worst than how I feel when my BP goes up, to the point where I can't proceed with my daily activities, like providing for my three kids. After a week of taking this medication, my BP has normalized. I even went a day without taking it to test its effectiveness and my BP stayed normal. Additionally, I haven't had any side effects. I am very pleased with this medication.Read More Read Less
