Losartan 25 Mg Switching Brands Caused Problems

After taking Solco Healthcare Losartan for many years, with no problems, I switched to another less expensive brand, Aurobindo. I soon began to notice my bp reads were significantly higher and, indeed, I too developed a cough. After 2 months of this I switched back to my Solco Losartan and, thankfully, my bp reads have once again stabilized and my coughing has ceased. In all fairness, I cannot say for certain that my cough was caused from the Aurobindo med, I only know the duration of my cough was during this time period.

REPORT

I took Aurobindo losartan 50 mg. for three to four weeks and experienced the same symptoms as you, but my cough still persists. I had tried Teva's losartan and that drug was totally ineffective. Just wanted to say "thank you" for posting that Solco's losartan worked for you. I immediately had my prescription refilled using Solco's drug, and it works great. So thanks again.

I am very sorry that you both experienced problems taking Losartan from a different company, though I am glad it has been resolved for you. It is hard to say how a medication from any given manufacturer will affect anyone that tries it. Scientists have recently warned that inactive ingredients aren't always as inactive as has been thought, here's an article on Science Alert that was recently published and discusses it.

How are you both doing, now? Are you still having good results?
