I am having sensitivity (pain)in my right breast area since taking this drug for one month i take it every other morning also developed a cough ## I am also on losarton and now I have this hacking cough. But not to worry my doctor just emailed me that there is no chance that this medicine could cause my cough and if I wanted to go off it that would be fine and let her know how it turns out. It is always nice when you find that your doctor would rather be right than listening to her patient and offering harmful advice. I really have no choice but to go off the medicine just so I can stop the hacking, it has gotten so bad I am not sleeping. Good luck. ## Losartan can definitely cause that cough, it does happen to quite a few people that take it and that side effect will not wear off, so i...

I would like to know if Losartan Pot Tab has side effects such as breaking out in red blotches similar to hives. My husband has been taking this in place of benicar and we wondered if this could be causing these blotches that itch like crazy. ## Has he contacted his doctor? Losartan is different than Benicar, which contains the active ingredient Olmesartan, so it is possible that he's having an allergic reaction, even if he never had a problem with the Benicar. ## I am 45 years old.I was only a little hypertensive but the doctor recommended Losar H which i have been taking for the past 6 years.

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...

Hello I was prescribed lisinpril for about 2 months but could not stand the dry cough. I've been off lisinprl for over 2 week but still carry this nasty cough.
