Blood Pressure Forums (Page 74)

Because of my medication's schedule I must take losartan, metformin and norvasc together. Are there any side effects or risk for doing so? ## I didn't find any problems, or interactions listed, but it is always best to double check. The FDA does warn that you may experience more side effects than usual, when taking multiple medications, which may include nausea, dizziness, headache, drowsiness, and increased urination. Is there anything else I can help with?

Does prexum effect the male erection. Also experiencing mascular pain/spasm in lower and upper back. On prexum for approximately six months and have lost all my libido !

If I'm prescribed both pills, do I have to take them together? What if I only take the Losartan without the Hydrochlorothiazide? ## You should take them both, as prescribed. They are often used together to help lower high blood pressure and to treat some cardiac conditions. Taking just the Losartan may lower it some, but not as much as taking both. The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, and hypotension. Did your doctor instruct you to take both? ## Someone has asked this, but I didn't see a specific response to it - Should losartan and hydrochlorothiazide be taken at the same time or different times of day for BP control?
