Losar H Is Prescribed For What

my age is 33 years i was suffering from high blood pressure from 3 months i used tablets named corvadil and also telma 40 but my bp was high as usual then doctor adviced me losar h after using this tablet my bp is normal but i am feeling giddy. ## It's used for high bp n any kidney disease in adults ## It can cause some dizziness and drowsiness as side effects, according to the U.S. FDA. You may also experience nausea, increased urination and hypotension. Has there been any change? Usually, side effects go away, once your body adjusts to a new medication, but that could take 4 to 5 weeks.

Doctor prescribed this pill for high blood pressure 100mg. On the back of the pill is a #13 and the pill is round medium sized. Anyway I ran out of medicine and I went to the pharmacy but the pill is now oval 100mg #13 and now is twice as big as the round pill that I was taking before. I am so scared that they made a mistake on the medicine. It looks bigger than the one that I was taking. I went to the drug store and the lady that works there told me that is the same thing. It's just that they change manufac. (please help) I did not start that second oval pill yet. ## Hello, Maria! How are you?

I'm not sure if morning or evening is the best time to take Losartan. When should I take the medication? ## Generally, unless the instructions state otherwise, it should be taken in the morning, that way it will be working during the time of day that you are usually most active. The FDA lists the typical side effects of this medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, and hypotension. I cut mine in half and take it twice a day, with my cardiologist's approval, because it works better for me that way. Are you on any other medications? ## whenis the best time to take losartan and simvastatin
