Losartan Htcz -ankle Pain (Top voted first)

Updated

Since I became allergic to lisinopril, I've been taking 1 losartan hydrochlorothiazide 100-12.5 daily for 2 yrs. for blood pressure. When in FL for the winter, the pill was a different size, assume mfg. by different company, and ankles didn't hurt. In NY, I get the same drug, a bit different sized, and now my ankles ache and perhaps a very small swelling on outside ankle bone. Is it possible that the NY pills cause this while the FL pills don't?

Hello, Louise! How are you?

It may just be a reaction to the medication, so you may need to switch to a different one. Have you consulted your doctor?

What are the markings on it? I'd like to double check to make sure that you've received the correct medication.

I am also experiencing foot and ankle /leg pain on losartin hydrochlorothiazide... It is most disabling in the morning, and my legs ache and wake me at night. I take Crestor, but I I know that it is not causing this. I will be asking my doctor to change my med next week...
