User Reviews for losartan-hydrochlorothiazide oral

Mild Hypertension. Works well for me.

I took this drug and it caused severe hypoglycemia. Was taken to hospital.

My doctor had to switch my blood pressure medication 3 times before I found a medication that worked well for me. Losartan is what I'm taking now. I have been on it for 3 months now. I liked Losartan because I hadn't noticed any side effects until recently. Maybe it's just me but this is what I'm experiencing now. The Losartan pills I used to get from CVS were round and white. I took those for 2 months and they worked great. Last time I went to get my prescription of Losartan though the pills were oblong and yellow. I tried to look the pills up online and I found some pictures of Losartan but no pictures of what I’m taking now (imprinted with APO on one side and 10012.5 on the other). I noticed with the yellow Losartan ills I get some stomach discomfort if I take them first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. The other pills (white) never bothered me. I also noticed some swelling in my ankles toward the end of the day which I never had before. I wondered if maybe the coating in this pill (yellow) was different or something else that my body doesn't like. Then again, I'm not a doctor and realize this could just be my body. Overall, this medication has worked better for me than my past two medications - Atenolol and Amlodipine Besylate. Atenolol controlled my blood pressure but made my ears ring real bad. The Amlodipine did not work for me at all. Read More Read Less

Due to someones error I was taking 200mg of this med. In an out of the hospital since a year ago. They finally raised a red flag my last hospital stay to the losartan over dose. Can anyone tell me if they to have had an overdose issue with this med ? It states right on my script bottle to take one pill by mouth twice a day ! I can't seem to get to feeling better. Will it stop the constant sick feeling !

I hate this medicine. I have had so many side effects. Gout,cough,sinusitis,knee pain and joint pain. It hasn't helped my blood pressure either. It has made my tacky- cardia worse. And has possibly caused problems with my stationary tubes and more ringing and noises in my ears. I have lost some hearing too. They should band this drug.I never had problems with my stationary tubes before not until I was put on this drug.

rash on arms

I have been taking this medication for 2 years and is the first medication to actually keep my blood pressure under control. I do experience some coughing but definately feel 100% better overall since taking this medication.

I can stop coughing with this medication. A thick mucus in my throat. It travels to my stomach and gives me an upset stomach. Don't take this medication unless you want endless coughing!

I am taking this to lower blood pressure. It has done that. The biggest complaint is going to the bathroom all of the time, especially at night. I wake up every two to three hours and have to go. I have dry mouth so i keep a water bottle by my bed at all times. The constant getting up at night keeps me from getting a good night rest which makes me tired all day.

All is well except I had been taking Bonapril and developed a terrible cough and was in hopes the cough would get better . Will it??

so far so good

Constant cough, poor alternative to Micardis.

my blo0d pressure does not seem steady taking this drug. sometimes it is 120/80 and next time it is 150 85 or more I am taking a generic, labled sz 390

Seems like my BP is better controlled with Losartan.

A nightmare drug! Losartan gave me severe chronic bronchitis. I thought I had developed late-onset asthma, and was suddenly, horribly tied to a preventive inhaler, an emergency inhaler (albuterol) and a nebulizer. I thought the breathing problems were associated with a recent thyroid operation, but when I found the 8% side effect of upper respiratory infections due to Losartan, I stopped taking the drug and breathing difficulties improved quickly and dramatically! No more inhalers! Occasional throat clearing only. Beware of this drug!Read More Read Less

I've been on this drug for 7 months and Finally found out why I feel so horrible. Back pain, breathlessness, itchy eyes, dehydrated, blurry vision, anxiety, depression, gained weight, tired all the time but can't sleep, nausea, severe cramping in legs & hips. Am on it for my Diabetes. I have to stop it. I thought I was just falling apart. Terrible drug.

Currently prescribed 2-100/12.5 tabs daily. Only experiencing barely acceptable results. Most concerned about side effects.Do not beleive this is best for me.

Started taking Losartan-HCTZ couple months ago. BP stable, but have develope blurry vision, chronic dry cough and hives on arms and legs.
