User Reviews for losartan-hydrochlorothiazide oral

I just started this pill 4 days ago. BP went down to 134/82. Just started getting an itchy rash. So far not such a problem, but much better than the awful cough and swollen legs from previous bp meds. It's really hard to know what medicine is good for you and remember reading these reviews, you do not know the condition of the people who are writing them. It's hard to compare.

I've been on Losartan for about a year. During that time, I have gained 15 pounds. I always feel hungry, and I sweat profusely. When I first started taking Losartan, my BP was stabilized, but in recent months it has become very erratic. It's that this medication is not working and has unfavorable side effects. I don't want to take it any longer and will see my physician next week to find a more acceptable alternative.

I was on this medication for about a week. I started getting symptoms including numbness and tingling in the left side of my mouth/lips, left index finger, and big toe. Scared me! I thought I was having a stroke! Then my mouth became so dry I couldn't stand it. Was switched to Lisinopril and my side effects from Losartan disappeared.

Dr prescribed this for my HBP. 100/12.5 dosage once a day. Makes me feel tired and I have had leg aches and cramping. Heart palpitations and fluttering, loss of sleep, and bags under my eyes I never had before. This one isn't good for me I can tell.

diag with bp at 150/110 during the day but normal at night. I've been talking this med for 2 weeks. I've been a jogger for many years, on average 4 miles a day. No bp change the first two days. On the third day my leg muscles started to feel tired 2 miles into the run, bp at 80/50 that night. Things started to improve little by little since then but not back to where I was before taking the med. bp also creeping up too, currently at 110/78. I worried my bp will be back to where I started once the body adjusts to the med. Side affects: frequent urine, dizzy if stand up quickly.Read More Read Less

ED SIDE EFFECT

I feel like myself again. Other medications weren't doing much for me. It took about 2 weeks or less to respond to my body to get my pressure under control but I feel great!

Although this drug immediately lowered my blood pressure, the muscle weakness in my legs were awful! I am an avid runner on the tread meal exercising for at least 60 minutes per day. I could hardly walk for over 10 minutes I had such leg weakness. I also felt like I had the starting of a cold all the time. After 3 weeks It just kept getting worse so I took myself off of it.

Recent Type 1 diabetic with sudden HBP. This drug got me to normal in three days with no side affects., No adverse reaction to any diabetes meds or hyperbolic treatments with Xanax.

Since taking this medication my hair has thinned and stopped growing. I used to cut my hair and grow it back, but now I can't even grow my hair past my ears.

This medicine has helped to keep my blood pressure under control.

sweating at night, hot flashes, no energy, very tired and can not sleep thru the night

Low energy, sleep issues, feel disoriented, confused,severe depression.

Change of medication from regular Losartan. Doc wanted to decrease pressure slightly. Medication did decrease pressure but I had a bad reaction. Lightheaded, dizzy, tired. Went back to regular Losartan with no problems.

I am very itchy all over. Just a little rash.

Losartan 100/25 mg. seemed to lower my blood pressure but it does go up and down. I have severe head fogginess, left leg numbness and headaches since i began taking it 4 months ago. I have to get off it, the side effects are too much.

Has worked very well over the past 5 yrs. I don't seem to have any side effects. This yr, I developed A-Fib. Did the cardo-verte, and then had the procedure up the groin, and now I'm having an issue with my pressure.

I developed a-fib after taking this drug for only a short period of time, and was taking no other medications. I'm now on natural diuretics (from food) and my blood pressure is consistently lower than it ever was on losartin.
