losartan dose

I cannot remember if I took my Losartan today or not - 100 mg. should I take it?

I did just find something that was interesting. The link, in the case you would want to read more, is http://www.theheart.org/article/1384629.do. I am taking the following out of the whole to publish here as I feel there might be some reassurance to others in this information as this doctor is supposed to be a renowned hypertension expert. In an interview, Dr Norman Kaplan (University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas) agreed.

//www.drugs.com/sfx/losartan-side-effects.html Uncommonly, ear congestion and hearing loss occur. But you are describing hypersensitivity. Losartan is associated for some with tremor. I would wonder if the sound issue is not related to a bit of anxiety. I'm not really seeing anything in the literature to support what you describe with retards to sound being louder but sensory experiences can be affected whenever our nervous system is not regulated.

I was on losartan for a few months. I don't think that my bp was consistenlty high. I think what was going on was that it was very up and down and it was making me feel pretty bad. But losartan which is a third line for bp was the first thing that they put me on. And I don't think my bp was that bad. I have had elevated renin/aldosterone studies and low potassium in the past.

Losartan is a really good drug with few side effects. 50 mg is not a high dose. It should not be causing any of the problems you mention. Ask your doctor.

I was worried so went to a doctor, the doctor checked my BP was 170/100, which was high as per the doctor, since then I am having LOSARTAN POTASIUM tablets of 50 mg every day prescribed by him, but still at times my BP in the evenings when I check is 150/100. Do I need to increase my dossage or continue with some physical excercises to reduce my BP, when ever I did some meditation for 10 mins, I checked with my electronic BP monitor it reduces compared to previous reading though.

That's helpful. I am also taking Losartan. I had a big drop (my bp was in a dangerous zone for a while) and it is higher in the doctors office but am wondering if at my physical coming up, they'll increase the losartan. I"m on the lower dose but still am in the 130's range. I have congenital hypertension. I am at a better weight right now but am in a stressful time of life which doesn't help. Just trying to keep my heart from exploding.

Stopped Lisinopril for a little bit and felt much better- unfortunately my blood pressure went a little up. Then my PCP substitute it for Losartan- have been taking this drug/25 mg/ for a week and feel extremely dizzy and nauseated. The cardiologist suggested to cut Carvbedilol in half/so now I am taking 3.125 twice a day instead of 6.25 and my chest pain almost disapear. I don't know if Losartan can cause this or just switching drugs my body needs more time...?

My medication currently involves Losartan, Bisoprolol, Atorvastatin, Citalopram and Omeprazole and has been the same since well before these incidents. The only thing that did change was an increase in dose of the Losartan from 20mgs. to 50mgs.in December '10. Apparently, suspicion has now fallen on the possibility that the latter is now causing periodic postular hypotension.

My hair has been thinning and I'm on the same dose of losartan. Wonder if that's why?

I am concerned about the drop in dose and generic brand (synthroid is tier 4-expensive for me). I also take losartan 25mg and just came off Farxiga since I am not pre-diabetic anymore, A1c is 5.6 (4-6.4).

Hi Sue, Please take a moment to click on my screen name to view my many prior posts on this topic. Also visit www. marfanlife .net/bb3 (remove the spaces; I put them in there so that this website would let me display the address) and look at the "Pharmacy" section for extensive discussion on this topic. My understanding is that it would be OK for a teenager to be on this type of drug, especially one who is only 3 years from being an adult.

She has no obvious symptoms but her cardiologist has put her on a new regimen of 4 meds (statin, Plavix, losartan, metoprolol)... which she finds terribly overwhelming. My question is ... why both losartan (an Angiotensin II) and metoprolol (a beta blocker)? Don't they both do the same thing by lowering blood pressure and opening up the coronary arteries? She is also tiny in height (5 ft) and I'm concerned that both are too much for her.

My new VA doctor wants to change one of my blood pressure medications from 160 mg of Valsartan 2 times per day to an equivalent dose of 100 mg of Losartan but only once per day. My blood pressure has been controlled for years with typical readings around 118/70 using the Valsartan, Amlodipine 5mg, and a diuretic (hydrochlorothiazide 25mg). I have not made the change yet. 1. Why should I agree to experiment with reducing my primary blood pressure medication and what are the risks?

clonidine, I just started, I plan to stop taking Losartan. This works best O.2 mg per day. A dose of .

I was also recently diagnosed with kidney disease called IgA Nephropathy- The Nephrologist put me on low dose of Losartan as a preventive measure as HBP causes further kidney damage. I think the combo of the Losartan and the Carvedilol is what made me faint. My nephrologist told me to discontinue the Losartan for now.

Hallo there -anyone and everyone. Is there any reasons to prefer or take losartan above olmesartan or the olmesartan above losartan. Person taking these is african, 57 years, female and oh, my mother.

Yes, Flomax can cause both insomnia and somnolence, which is a state of near sleep. Please inform your doctor. Either a change of prescription or a dose adjustment may help. Hope this helps. Do let me know if there is any thing else and keep me posted. Take care!

The carvedilol is usually started at a low dose and titrated up every week or 2 weeks. Losartan can be started at whatever dose seems reasonable for your blood pressure. No need to taper, you can just make the switch. The primary care doctor that you see will likely know all of this.

His averaged blood pressure is 146/80. He was placed on losartan potassium (50 mg) for 8 days but there is no change to his averaged blood pressure. Would you advice him continuing losartan or seek new drugs? Many thanks.

I have been taking Losartan 25mg in the morning and 25 metoprolol succinate ER in the evening. My BP in the morning always ranges from 120/70 to 130/80 and evening it goes upto anywhere between 140/80 to 150/90 and some times even 160/100(rarely- but had readings like that). My HR in the morning is aroung 70 BPM and increases to around 90 in the evening.

Has anyone heard about a study with Losartan, a BP drug, on people with HCV, with moderate Fibrosis? Its suppose to shrink them, so the liver can heal. I was wondering how I could get on a study like that? I'm Type1a, a non-responder.

I have been on Losartan for approximately eight months come here recently I have found it very difficult to swallow my food and seems like he gets caught in my esophagus, yesterday at two different Meals I began to choke on my food I had to drink several glasses of water in order to get my food to go down with no issues. Could this be a side effect of Losartan?
