User Reviews for Losartan (Cozaar)

Does anyone know if this causes dreams?

gave me hives

Switched from Diovan for generic. I have had psoriasis for 20 yrs and have never experienced the flare up that has happened since starting Losartin. The itching on my arms and legs drives me crazy. My doc says no connection, but I believe there is. Will stop Losartin and see if rash and itching stops

I was taking Cozaar for over 10 years to treat my blood pressure. The drug was very effective. My blood pressure was normal and I felt great. Then the Pharmacies in my area said Cozaar was no longer available and I was pressured to take the generic Losartin. After 3 weeks my lips swelled and felt tingling. I had severe pain and swelling in my neck, back and legs. I got red swollen welts on my legs. My skin became dry. I retained water and was dry inside. I was constipated and began to bleed when urinating. I want to be able to go back to the brand name Cozaar. Losartin is not for everyone!Read More Read Less

seems to work

Requested a generic for Diovan and was prescribed Losartan. After taking it for 12 days and feeling funny thought I should take my blood pressure. The systolic had jumped from the 130's to 192. Monitored for a while and contacted my doctor. He had me come in and the pressure was only at 180 when they checked. He gave me some Diovan (samples) and a new prescription. Within a couple of hours my pressure started dropping. This was terrible for me. Would not recommend it just to save money.

Don't know yet.

I was at Hospital for heart attack November 2010, after 4-days I went home with instruction to take LOSARTAN POT TAB 25MG at breakfast. Its white color, round and I have to split it only take half. It's 6-months now and I am feeling great, no side effect. Looking forward to see cadiologist for the first time for a check-up this month. He would be happy, so am I

started on this after major heart surgery (CABG)-4way bypass. Have had no problems, BP been running in 125/78 range. On 50mg. day, only problem last few days is cramping or pain in my shoulder, not sure if a side effect or not. Been on drug about 3 months, So far So Good. Hope this helps.

This med made me congested, gave me headaches and raised my blood pressure. It's not for everyone

I have been on this drug for about 3 weeks. The insurance wanted the switch to Losartan 100/25,said it was the generic for Benicar HCT 40/25. It so far does not work as effective,as Benicar.I will give it a little more time. My doctor said it was the exact same drug as Benicar, I am now going to SWITCH doctors.

are there any side effects to losartan

I am taking losartan potassium 25mg after dinner or around 7or8pm. I have tried many high blood pressure meds and so far this one works pretty good. I had the iching and the rash but that went away after the fist month on it. .Its been 3 months now on this med. I am dizzy in my head though. Its every 20 seconds or so and it hard to deal with. I have it all the time and even in bed if I wake up in the middle of the night. I really do not like this but with all the other blood pressure meds the side effects were way worse. I guess you have to take the good with the bad cause there is no one pill that doenst have side effects. I have headaches but that is a side effect too. So I guess every ones body is different and you will just have to decide which side effects you can deal with and which ones you cant. I am staying on this losartan potassium because the side effects are alot less then many I have tried. Hopefully my review will help some people.Read More Read Less

lowered by blood pressure 115/80

Had very bad reaction to this med. Was on for 5 days and lethargic, dizzy, sick to my stomach, gassey. Also had bad pains on right side of back. I felt like I had a very bad bladder infection. I never had such a adverse reaction to a drug like this one. Went off the 6th day and took 3 days to feel a little better. Was on Diovan and Dr. changed to Losartan . Thought it would be less expensive for me, Although I have coverge for Diovan. He figured he was saving me $$ ..back on Diovan and no problems so far. This drug is very scary. I do not recommend it at all. Hope this review helps .Read More Read Less
