Hello I was prescribed lisinpril for about 2 months but could not stand the dry cough. I've been off lisinprl for over 2 week but still carry this nasty cough. I have been taking Losartan for approximately one week could it be the losartan that continues to cause the dry cough? I'm totally frustrated! ## Hello, Rena! How are you? It may take about a month for the cough to stop. I have the same problem with Lisinopril and hated it for that reason and it did take about 4 weeks for the cough to completely go away. Side effects to the Losartan may include nausea, dizziness, hypotension and headache. Is there anything else I can help with?

I have been taking losartan hctz for 3 days and already feel like I have a url with burning and urgency. I never get these infections so I am assuming it could be the Losartan. Yes or no? ## Hello, Kathy! How are you feeling? I'm sorry about the problem you're having. To be quite honest, I'm finding conflicting information on this, some information says it can cause them, but not others. So it may or may not be, there is always a first time for everything, including getting a UTI, though you never have before. Have you had this checked out, yet? Are on any other medications?

Good morning I am on several different medications. I'm currently taking propranolol 20mg, lisinopril 20mg and just picked up a new medication ecitalopram 10mg. I would like to know if it's okay to take all of the meds together or would it be best to spread them out throughout the day? ## Hello, Toni! How are you? What instructions have been provided with the medications? Usually, the blood pressure and cardiac medications should be taken in the morning, so they can help control your condition during the times of day when you'll be most active. However, the Escitalopram may vary, depending on how much drowsiness it causes you.

I had taking amlopres 5mg for 4 months my doc prescribed it when my bp reading was 175/90 now i had stopped taking the medicine and feel normal.can i stop this medicine forever?my bp has dat much high for the first time?what is my condition? ## Hi, Shihab! How are you? There are reasons that high blood pressure (hypertension) is called "The Silent Killer" and that's because people that have it often feel normal and have no symptoms, whatsoever…..until they suffer heart failure, a heart attack or a stroke. Thus, just because you felt fine, you shouldn't have stopped the medication. You've actually put yourself in danger by doing that, because it can cause a rebound effect that may cause your blood pressure and heart rate to go even higher than it was before. Lea...

How are you doing? I am very sorry bout the problems you've been having. However, what is your current blood pressure and heart rate running? If they are going high, then that may also be causing your symptoms. Since you weren't on it for long, the medication shouldn't still be causing them. ## I just took it and it was 122/83 pulse rate 80 no more issues

To be honest, no medication should be given to a child, without their doctor's approval, especially when they are taking prescription medications. Young children may suffer more pronounced side effects or interactions than adults, so you should always check into it, before dosing. Are there any other questions or concerns?
