Losartan Side Effect Rash
UpdatedI've been on losartan for about 6 weeks. About 10 days ago I started having a rash around my mouth. I think it is caused by the losartan as it is the only thing new. Could this be possible?

Hello, Pete! How are you?
It would be very odd for it to appear that long after starting it and extremely odd for it to be localized just around your mouth.
What does the rash look like? Is it painful? Itchy? Blistering?
The FDA lists the typical side effects of Losartan as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination and hypotension.
I’m trying to find out if Losartan could possibly be the cause of my skin rash. Also, I’m wondering if it could be a side effect or allergic reaction from a medication? I just recently realized when I take my blood pressure medicine Losartan that it makes my skin feel like it’s on fire and I've broke out in hives and that’s just two of many side effects that I’ve had.
