Losartin Details (Top voted first)

Updated

my losartan 100mg tablets from my last refill now are green in color and smaller in size. i spoke with my kelsey pharmacy and was told they are using a different mfg aurobindo. I looked them up and they are located somewhere in India. my losartan was coming from mfg northstar. how can i tell if the ingredience in the new green pills are the same as the white larger pills? Do I need to check with my doctor about this change? I have not had any problem with the old white pills.

Hello, Maggie! How are you?

Rest assured that if you are receiving them from a licensed U.S. pharmacy, they have passed the same approval process as the other ones that you were getting.

Losartan is a generic medication and once a drug is available for generic manufacture, it is usually manufactured by several different companies and which one your pharmacy has in stock, at any given time, will depend on who was offering the cheapest price at the time they needed to restock their supply. It's how they keep prices as low as possible for uninsured customers.

Are there any other questions or concerns?

I looked up Aurobindo on the internet - and they said their drug Losartin was GF. Mine are green, oval, have a 47 on one side and a E on the other. No side effects from it.

My pharmacy switched my Losartan from a blister pack to a bottle from a different manufacturer. Now it comes from India. It not only did not help my blood pressure, it raised my blood pressure. Regardless of all these people saying it is the same. I know at least I of the following 2 things are correct. The medicine is not the same. It did not work as the previous one did. My suspicion is to reduce the cost they reduce the costly ingredients. If I can at all prevent it I will not take any more medicine manufactured in India.
