Losartan 25mg (Top voted first)

Updated

Dear Pres. Info.:
My husband was prescribed Losartan 25mg yesterday. However, there were 2 different looking tablets in the bottles. Thanks to your web site, I was able to identify the white round one with 572 is in fact Losartan 25mg.

The other one is "light green colored, oblong shaped" and the number '7364' on one side & the number "93" on the other side. Is this really Losartan 25 mg also???

Thank you in advance for your time and assistance to identify this drug.
Most sincerely,
Emily

Hi Emily!

Yes, the tablet with the 93 7364 also contains 25mgs of Losartan, which is used to treat high blood pressure and cardiac conditions.

Pills by different manufacturers will sometimes be used, if the pharmacy doesn't have enough of one to completely fill the prescription.

This medication may cause some side effects, such as: nausea, dizziness, headache and stomach pain.

Dear Verwon:
Thank you so much for your quick reply!
Well, if I may I have one more question. Losartan was prescribed to my husband to see if it would work for him since "Avapro" he had been taking for several years became out of his insurance's formulary list recently. My concern is "potasium toxicity" from the losartan intake. Does he need to have his blood potasium monitored periodically to minimize the said toxicity??
Thank you, Verwon, for your time and attention.
Most sincerely,
Emily

Emily, yes, his doctor should do occasional blood tests to check his potassium level and make sure it doesn't go too high, because the hyperkalemia is a very real possibility with this class of medications.

I take one that's in this same class and, even though my potassium levels normally drop very low, my doctor still does a blood test, every few months, just to be careful.

And unless his doctor instructs him to use them, he should also avoid taking any supplements with potassium in them or using any salt substitutes that use it.

My husband's meds were changed to Losartan 25 a couple of months ago and has recently noticed issues maintaining an erection. Could this be a side effect?

Hello, my husband is taking Coreg 256 / 93 ( is this Carvedilol? I have printed out your pages on the same, TY.) and Losartan Lup / Lu P2 25 Mg (like in The Sound of Music song about the austrian flower Eidelweiss, this one is 'small and white'..I didn't find it in your descriptions above..Would you be so kind as to provide a link with info, or tell us about this losartan, TYTYTY!). Is there anything to know about the combination of these, especially any side effects, as he is scheduled to take them just before work, which is active. - Raya
