User Reviews for losartan-hydrochlorothiazide oral

Had to switch from Benicar, due to insurance. Had severe leg cramps and .peripheral neuropathy in both feet. Did not know this medication caused this. But after going through blood tests and MRI, along with nerve tests. My neurologist shrugged his shoulders and said "he didn't know." I did some research on the internet and found some posts that said Losartan had caused Peripheral neuropathy in others and asked my doctor to switch, within days my feet were getting better. Don't ever assume a medication is not a problem. Read More Read Less

not pleased with this pill

Only taken for 3 days developed a severe cough and flu like symptoms.Will stop taking since reading the above side effects, Thank you.

Developed horseness, nasel drip,then LPR (REFLUX)tired,loss of hair blood profile showed low salt and chloride.I was on Diovan my doctor changed to valsartan, insurancce would not cover. But would cover losartan. BAD DRUG.

The downside is frequent urination.

Third blood pressure mediaction that my body has had reaction too. Labs are abnormal, sodium, potassium, calcium plus a horrible face rash with abcess and hair loss.

I started taking 300 mg and was up every night with stomach aches. Also feeling of urinating every 2 hrs at night means I don't get much sleep. So, I tried taking in morning but it made me too tired to function at work.

I have been taking this drug for about 3 years,and it has lowered my blood pressure greatly, 120/70. I was deadly high. It worked immediately. I am a little more tired,a little less hair,and I had to get a new eye prescription. These are minor things to me. I exercise daily,and feel great. If you exercise daily,you too will feel better. It does not seem to interfere with the SEX pills either. (smile) Remember,The mind controls the body,the body does not control the mind.A 64 year old. old.

I had a TIA and was put on losartan. Medicine caused extremely painful cramps to the point where I was cramping multiple times a day, sometimes even when I was driving. Stopped taking it when cramps started affecting my sleep.

After several years on this family of meds went toxic. Swelled up, pitting edema of my face. Blood pressure went to triple digits. Gained 40# felt like I was full of poison. Off now using clonidine and hctz.2 Blood pressure stabilizing swelling gone except for feet sometimes. Trying to get weight off by exercise and diet,haven't lost a darn pound. Starting to feel better, still some bad days.

I have been taking this drug for blood pressure for a month. Although it controlled my BP I had extreme fatigue on this med. I felt "foggy" out of focus and could barely make it through my work days. I have exercised 3-5 times a week for 11 years and I could barely get off the couch while taking this. It wasn't a good match for my energy level and I can't stand feeling that out of it and tired.

I started med. about 2 years ago and it seemed to work. but in the past 4 months I have dealt with some many side effects that I just want to scream and I want people to know. It caused painful urination,swollen joint, fatigue, rash and itching, nasal conjstn, blurry vision,dry mouth,back pain,and bowel troubles. It has been awful and it has caused me to be so depressed with all the things going on. Plus sleep lose and worry. If this is prescribed for you pay attention to your body and quit if you start feeling bad. It only gets worse the longer you take it!!Read More Read Less
