Losartan Potassium Problems

I am on Atenolol and losartan pot 50mg. Well, I am so itchy. My feet itch and my knees have red splotches on them. I was on Lisonopril and it made my liver enzymes so high. I have never had a heart attack, I"m 55 years old and have high blood pressure. What drug can you recommend? thanks.

Hello, Maria! How are you?

I'd suggest asking your doctor about trying Atacand/Candesartan, it is listed by the FDA as an ARB, just like Losartan, but it's known to cause fewer side effects. Its typical ones are listed as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache and hypotension.

Have you had the itching and splotches checked out by your doctor? That could be due to an allergy, or perhaps just a circulatory issue, too.
