Losartan, Lipitor, Zoloft

What is a common ingredient found in Losartan, Lipitor,
and Zoloft? The first two gave me a dry hacking cough,
and now I am getting the same side effect from
Zoloft. Please help!

There is no common ingredient, but each of them can cause that type of problem, in some people, due to the way they work in the body.

Losartan is the active ingredient in that one, it's a generic for Cozaar, which is an ARB used to treat high blood pressure and cardiac conditions.

Zoloft contains the active ingredient Sertraline, which is an SSRI antidepressant.

Zocor contains the active ingredient Simvastatin, it is used to help lower cholesterol.

So, none of them are used to treat the same conditions and they aren't in the same medication classes.

I tend to have similar problems with a lot of medications and usually have to keep trying quite a few different ones, until we find one that doesn't cause me such problems.

Have you contacted your doctor about this?
