User Reviews for losartan oral

I have been on the brand name Cozaar almost since it came out ...that's over 10 years! Have NEVER had a problem and Cozaar was working well. Now it has gone generic and my insurance will no longer pay for the the brand. Well I too the generic for 3 days and thought I would die. I was dizzy, had difficulty walking, coughing, my pressure was extremely high..180/98...and I thought I was going to pass out. DO NOT TAKE THE GENERIC ..IT IS NOT EQUAL TO THE BRAND IT IS BAD!

DR. PRESCRIBED AFTER CHRONIC PRODUCTIVE COUGH WIOTH LISINOPRIL. COUGH CONTINUES, WITH VIRAL & ALLERGY COMPONENTS. MOST TROUBLESOME IS SEVERE BODY ACHES.

I was on Lisinopril and also had the cough. Seems to be genetic as my family also developed the cough. I have been on Losartan (Cozaar) for less than a week and have developed a hive-like rash as well, so I stopped and have requested to be put back on Diovan.

It worked for me better than ramipril

Used name brand Cozaar in excess two years. Cough with other BP med's. Ins required I try cheaper med, but cough returned after one week on other BP med. Went back on name brand Cozaar and cough disappeared. Hope this generic works as well as name brand.

High blood pressure. I have been taking Cozaar ( Losartan ) and I started to experience intense itching that felt like hives ( although you couldn't see any welts ) and I would get this in the evening. I had a dime size rash on my arm. I noticed only a few reviews mentioned the itching. Has anyone else experienced this? You can't directly answer my question on here but please do a review so that others will know that it could be a common effect from the medicine. I also have achy muscles from it. Going to hear from the doctor within an hour. Will post again soon Ann7Read More Read Less

Switched from Lisinopril also because of bad coughing. A little dizziness now and then with some headaches.

blurred vision lightheadness increase BP

I have only been taking the drug for about 2 weeks and having dizzyness to where I almost black out. I also noticed a change in my mood. I am irritable, this comes and goes. My doctor has me on only 12.5 mg, I just don't like the mood changes. Is this common with this drug?

It has almost erased my symptoms .

I have experanced being very tired and lifeless.

MY MD SWITCHED ME FROM LISINOPRIL TO LOSARTAN(50 MG PER DAY) AFTER EXPERIENCING TWO WEEKS OF SIDE EFFECTS THAT INCLUDED THE INFAMOUS NAGGING COUGH. AFTER JUST ONE WEEK ON LOSARTAN I FEEL MUCH BETTER, COUGH IS GONE AND MY BLOOD PRESSURE IS ON THE DECLINE. YEAH!

It seems to effect my memory

intolerant to diuresis with CTZ; bad headache with Atenolol and Nifedipine;persistant cough with Captopril. Heart specialist prescribed Losartan + Amlodipine Besylate for better synersistic effect. 3 years my bp 120/80. No side effects. Life is great.

I have tried every bp drug under the sun it seems and this is the only one that works that I can tolerate without terrible side-affects. The only thing I've noticed is very dry skin which may or may not be related to the drug. Overall, I am happy with it!

does medicine cause itchiness?

was on micardis 80/25 now am on hyzaar 25/12.5 dizziness has not subsided after 6 days! i dont know if i can deal with it. bp is low though although it was with micardis the dose was just too high BP was 100/60. i was a 160/110 patient. quite a difference! anyone else extremely dizzy?

Changed medication from Avapro 300 to Cozaar 25 by medical prescriber

I've taken this medication for over two years and have no side effects. I've had the dosage increased and still no ill effects.
