How To Stop Taking Losartan (Page 4)
(Newest replies first)

I had taken losartan50/hctz 12.5 for 10 years, In recently years I suffered dry coughing and bad running nose allergy. I found out this is the side effect of losartan. Cutting the dose to half, changing to a water pill.. did not solve the problem. Over this holiday I developed bronchitis and was quite ill. I had very bad coughing, losing voice, sinus infection, nose bleeding, etc. I stopped taking Losartan to avoid further complications. I notified my doctor that I will check my blood pressure if the record is not over 140-90. I will keep the Losartan off. What else can I do?

Hello, Muchin! How are you doing?

Have your symptoms improved, yet?

The FDA lists other typical side effects of this medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache and increased urination.

However, if your blood pressure starts to elevate, again, there is no need to go back on it. There are many other options that your doctor can prescribe for you. It's really just a matter of trying various ones to see which one works for you, without making you miserable.
