I have diabetes and take 25 mg am and 25 mg at bedtime as prescribed by physcian. It seems to keep the BP pretty well under control.

Before cozaar my BP was 190/150. After a month of cozaar my BP was just measured at the doctors office as 190/150. My body defeated cozaar! You people making all these comments about your lowered BP should be embarrassed. I am proud I defeated cozaar and ashamed you didn't!

I am told by my doctor that I am in Stage three kidney failure.No one I know including myself could believe this.I am waiting for the report on my lab results to find out if this is true.I have been off Losartan one week now & need to wait another week.

I have noticed a considerable amount of hair loss. Found out from three other females, that they experienced the same side effect. Has anyone else esp. Females? Has been somewhat effective for treatment of HBP otherwise

My resting bp was somewhere in the range of 140/90-150/110 before I went on cozaar/losartan. While it did regulate my bp a bit (now in the 130s/85s), I ket getting dizziness/faint spells. Very scary, especially while commuting to and from work. Will be going to my doctors to change prescriptions tomorrow.

Because Benicar is so expensive I asked to try a similar drug. My dr. recommended this generic brand (Losartan Potassium). I have been on it for 3+ weeks and my blood pressure has increased over this time period between 140-150. On Benicar I was normally 124 over 65. I also experienced headaches. I am going back to Benicar thru the Canada Pharmacy. It costs $89 for a 90 day supply.

Cozaar works. The generic form, losartan, does not.

My doctor prescribed 100 mg white pill cut in half and taken twice a day. A few days after I started taking it, I noticed food no longer tasted good and I had a metal taste in my mouth. At times, it seemed like I could smell metal that my husband couldn't. My husband said my breath smelled like metal. I also had swelling in my neck and feet. I stopped taking the medication a week ago. There's no more metal taste or smell. Food tastes good again and the swelling is gone. It didn't make a difference in my BP.Read More Read Less
