User Reviews for losartan oral

This is a review of the reliability and veracity of this site. Losartan will cause alopecia/hair loss to some degree and for some seriously. It's in the serious med.lit. A huge issue with women. This site ignores the reports & lit. Drug cos. are criminal in suppressing info. Go to the FDA. Waste no time here.

Works well for me...no side effects. Switched from lisinopril because that made me cough (doctor recognized this as a side effect right away).

side effects in my experience include dull headaches, lethargy, vision changes. Most seem minor so I suppose it's worth it as I've foind no other generic blood pressure med available. I am diabled (not due to high BP)and live on a fixed SSDI income with BCBS in place of straight medicare. Great thing about BCBS is they will cover most generics thru the gap.

Switched from lisinopril for cough and pain under breast from front around to back. I am wondering if anyone had any problems with headaches from losartan. Also I never had any swelling in my hands from lisinopril but seem to with losartan

My sister was on this medication for 2 weeks and 3 days. She had constipation, dehydration and ultimately a seizure which put her in the hospital and resulted in the loss of her driver's license.

i was only on the medication for less than a week and ive had serve muscle pain, hives,face pain and felling so tired till i could not do anything . i will never take the medication again .

After taking this medicine for two days I had a severe allergic reaction to it. Within a few minutes of taking it I vomited so violently that all the blood vessels around my eyes ruptured then my breathing became difficult it took 5hrs at urgent care to help me breath and feel better.

I have been happy with the results, both numbers are lower. However, I have muscle and back pain and a few skin itches in the neck. Bottom line, although it works for me, I am going to make a big effort and loose weight (20 pounds) to stop taking blood pressure medicine. It seems all of them have side effects (I hated the cough from Lisonipril)

I am on several medications that have the same type of side effects, I switched because of the terrible cough I had from the benazapril, and I am asthmatic. I have terrible itching every day on the neck and upper chest and my face gets flushed and hot. I also take several other meds including psych meds. How the heck am I supposed to know which causes what? How do you know????

Started taking losartan because medical coverage called everyday and called my MD to have me switch from cozaar to losartan. I recently started and noticed that I now have hives, lightheadedness, pain in back, muscles, blurred vision, irregular heartbeat, stomach pain.There are other symtoms. Wow..what kind of drug is this? I understand everyone responds differently, but wow. Made the mistake of researching this after I just had taken a pill. Will call my MD on Monday.

It seems to work OK. I am experiencing some light headed moments. It may be something else.

high blood pressure 188- 90 from 138 -70

Had been on Diovan 40mg. because of price Dr switched me to Losarton

My 4 year old daughter is on this medication because she has had 2 heart surgeries before the age of 1 for a stenotic aortic valve and regurgitation and overall high blood pressure. She was first on Captopril and Enalapril which tasted better but caused breast buds to form which is a side effect for most blood pressure meds. For the most part Losartan works well. Tastes horrible when it is compounded for a child. Works well overall. Noticed a dry hacking cough which is new for my child. Will get a second opinion. Not many small children are on this medication yet. Will keep posting.Read More Read Less

Switched from Cozaar 50 to Losartan by insurance due to cost. Within one day had stomach cramps, diarrhea, achy muscles, "touchy" skin. Eliminated any chance of food interaction, flu, etc., over 10 day period and was left with this drug having the side effects. Stopped Losartan and felt 100% better within 2 days.
