Losartan No Immediate Lowering Of Bp.
(Newest replies first)

Updated

On Losartan .5, less than 3 weeks In newly taking Losartan (no adverse side effect symptoms) average blood pressure has increased moderately during this time period . Physician advised. Curious if this experience was repeated in any clinical drug trials or other patients with a subsequent longer term use of the Losartan reversing the trend line to lowering BP.

Thanks for the feedback. Results continue stable as before no surge upward. Medical advise is try it six weeks. On that plan. Find it interesting, complete moderate workouts 6-7 hours per week, good diet, weight good. Based on prior available weight and BP stats working on dropping 5 pounds for effect. Empathic with all who deal with this issue.

There is always a risk that any given medication could cause the opposite of its intended effects in some people that take it. It is not very common, but yes, the NIH and the FDA both note that it is possible and has happened, before.

It may be that it is not the right medication to help you and you need to try something else. There are many blood pressure medications available.

Has there been any change?
