What side affects may happen if I take 10mg of Amlodiine along with 100mg Losar Pot/hctz? ## HI, Marie! Has your doctor prescribed them both? Generally these types of medications work synergistically, which means that it can increase the lowering of blood pressure to more than you'd get if you were using just one of them. Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker. The Losartan with Hydrochlorothiazide combines an ARB with a diuretic. Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache, hypotension, stomach pain and dehydration. You can learn more Amlodipine details here and there are more Losartan details here and you can find more Hydrochlrothiaizde details here.

I was prescribed Losartin 100 mg-25 for high blood pressure. hAD BEEN ON 50 MG-12.5. RAN OUT OF THE 100 MG SO STARTED TAKING THE 50 MG TABS. NOW HAVING DIZZINESS,NAUSEA, TIGHTNESS IN CHEST HEARTBURN AND SOME TINGLING DOWN ARM. ## Hi Zoiee, Based on my research, the following symptoms are listed as side effects of Losartan: Dizziness Heartburn Decreased sensitivity to touch Chest pain Chest pain however, is regarded as a serious side effect that should be reported to your doctor immediately. Ref: nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginfo/meds/a695008.html#side-effects It could just be that when you switched brands/manufacturers, the inactive ingredients triggered a different reaction within your system, perhaps increasing the risk of potential side effects.

I was prescribed Losartan 50 mg for a heart condition 10 months ago For the last month I have been having extreme left leg pains waking me up at least twice every night. Since taking Losartan I have put on weight, suffered muscle cramps and insomnia but decided I would live with them for 12 months when my doctor will review . But the pain in my leg is no joke any longer. ## Why are they making you wait a year for a review? Usually, when someone has a heart condition, they are checked very frequently for the first few years. Things do not normally go to a one year check up, unless the person has remained stable for a long period of time. When I first had heart failure, I started out seeing the doctor every two weeks, then went to once a month, then once every 2 months, and so on. It took...

I am taking Losartan 50 mgs twice a day and I am getting terrible joint & muscle pain. Can it be from the meds? Orrrrrrr could it be from the simvistatin? ## Have you talked to your doctor about this? The first guess as to the culprit would probably be the Simvastatin, these statin medications are very well known to cause these types of side effects in some people that use them. This means it may not be the right medication for you to use and you may need to switch to something else. The Losartan can also cause these types of side effects, but it isn't known to do so as frequently as the Simvastatin. ## How many different medications are you taking with the Losartan? Based on information I've gathered, I'm thinking that Losartan is the primary cause of your joint and mus...
