Dear Pres. Info.: My husband was prescribed Losartan 25mg yesterday. However, there were 2 different looking tablets in the bottles. Thanks to your web site, I was able to identify the white round one with 572 is in fact Losartan 25mg. The other one is "light green colored, oblong shaped" and the number '7364' on one side & the number "93" on the other side. Is this really Losartan 25 mg also??? Thank you in advance for your time and assistance to identify this drug. Most sincerely, Emily ## Hi Emily! Yes, the tablet with the 93 7364 also contains 25mgs of Losartan, which is used to treat high blood pressure and cardiac conditions. Pills by different manufacturers will sometimes be used, if the pharmacy doesn't have enough of one to completely fill the pr...

Blood pressure 90/60 since June. Been on Losartin for 15 years. This year had knee replacement surgery for painful knee; pain for last 6 years. Now no pain and no stress full job, so dr. thinks my blood pressure has dropped because no more pain or stress; he lowered it to 50 mg from 100 mg. Still 60/90. Lowered it to 25.mg and still 60/90.

I have been taking losartan 50 mg a day, but divided in the morning and night. As my dr noticed side effects, I was later prescribed 25 mg. It has been 10 days but I have serious cramps in my legs when I'm jogging or walking. I'll consult with my dr... My bp is 120/80. Is there another medicine that will lower my bp but with less side effects than losartan? Or can I take half of 25mg one time a day? ## I am taking this drug as well with the same side affects. After having taken it for a month the cramps (Charlie horses) have all but stopped. ## Those might be side effects of this medication, according to NIH reports. You may also experience nausea, dizziness, headache, and increased urination. But as GS stated, they typically go away, after your body becomes used to the medicati...

I just received a new Losartin K refill. The pill is round pink with sz 214 Identifer marking. Is this a generic? ## Losartan is a generic to begin with, the name brand would be Cozaar. And yes, the tablet you received contains 100mgs of Losartan. Is there anything else I can help with?

I am taking losartan 100 mg tablet every morning before breakfast. I also take Plavix 75 mg and Levothyroxine 100 mcg in a.m. By lunch time I feel very tired and don't have much energy the rest of the day. After dinner I take Narvasc 5 mg, Zetia 10 mg, aspirin 325 mg, and cephalexine 250 mg. My doctor doesn't seem to be very concerned about the fatigue but I feel it is interfering with my life. Such as gardening, exercising, shopping, etc. Any suggestions? ## How long have you been taking these medications? Fatigue, drowsiness, headache, increased urination, and joint pain can be side effects of these medications. How long will you be taking the antibiotic? Has there been any change?

Losartan LU/P23 white same as E/47 green ? ## Hello, Marc! How are you? Yes, the one with the LU P23 marking is manufactured by Lupin Pharmaceuticals and the one with the E 47 marking is manufactured by Aurobindo Pharmaceuticals, both list them as containing 100mgs of Losartan, so they've just been manufactured by different companies. The FDA classifies this medication as being an ARB, which is used to treat high blood pressure and certain cardiac conditions, that may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, stomach pain and hypotension. Is there anything else I can help with?

I was prescibed 100mg/25HCTZ of Losartan. I have been taking 5mg/6.5HCTZ of Ziac. I was concerned that the Doc started me off with such a high dose of 100 mg of Losartan when the internet says the starting dose is 50mg. My BP went up hovering around 140/90 while on the Ziac. Any thoughts? ## Hi Charlie, I'm sure your doctor only prescribed what he thought would benefit you, however it is your body and if you are not comfortable with the dosage you should definitely speak with him. He may have prescribed you a larger dose to compete with the Ziac that could still be lingering in your system. In regards to your blood pressure raising while on Ziac, I can't find any information that says high blood pressure is a side effect of the medication since that is what it's supposed to ...

Would the above drug cause body itch? ## Yes, there are actually 2 ways that Losartan can cause this type of issue. The first would be if you happen to be allergic to it and the second would be as a side effect due to its nature of action in the body, its effect on blood vessels and circulation can cause this. Have you consulted your doctor?

I was prescribed Losartan Pot 25mg. When the prescription was first filled, I received a green, oblong, tablet. When it was renewed, I received a tiny, round, pink pill. Is this just a manufacturer's difference, depending on who made the drug or is it something else, like being given the wrong medication?Frank ## Losartan is a generic medication, so it is manufactured by several different companies, but I can't really tell you any specifics, without knowing the markings on the tablets in question. Can you please post back with this information? If you do so, I will gladly check for you. Is there anything else I can help with?

EVERY TIME I GET A REFILL IT IS A DIFFERENT PILL. IT HAS IN THE PAST BEEN GREEN, NOW IT IS A VERY PALE YELLOW.. 50 MG OF LOSARTAN??? LUP??? DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE LUP IS?? AND WHY THE CHANGE EACH TIME. ANYONE TAKE SOMETHING LIKE THIS. LAST TIME IT WAS GREEN AND SAID TEVA USA ## Losartan is a generic medication and once a medication is available for generic production, it is usually manufactured by quite a few different companies. The reason whatever pills you get from your pharmacy may change regularly is due to the fact that, when they need to reorder, they will order from whichever one of those companies is offering the cheapest price, at that time. This is how they keep costs as low as possible for their customers that may not have insurance and might need to pay cash for their prescri...

I've been taking 100mg daily for three years. Seems to be working and dealing with most died effects I.e. Dizziness, fatigue etc. by taking the pill before bed so sleep through half a days worth of issue. I've tried several other meds that I could not tolerate so I've wanted to stick with losartan. The issue is that for the past 18 months the pharmacy continues to give me a large white pill from another manufacturer but I keep requesting the green oval pill. When I think the issue is finally resolved I found myself back at square one with them again. It's exhausting to hear them say we can try to special order,will mark your file. It's all been done before and still they ignore all the flags etc. how can I get the green oval pill without ten trips to the pharmacy bef...

I take losartan hct. 100/12.5 got hip pain and rib pain on left side and iron level of 265 and cannot get any answers iam in pain most of the time what can I do? ## Hello, Joyce! How are you? I am so sorry that you're in pain. Yes, it can cause the pain like that, especially if the Hydrochlorothiazide in it is causing you to get dehydrated, because it is a diuretic that removes excess fluid from the body. Other side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, stomach pain, and hypotension. As to your iron level, many blood pressure drugs can affect those results, so it might not be accurate. Are you feeling fatigued regularly? Extremely tired? ## Yes ## You might be dehydrated, due to the diuretic in this. How much liquids do you take in each day, not inclu...

I have been taking losartan hctz for 3 days and already feel like I have a url with burning and urgency. I never get these infections so I am assuming it could be the Losartan. Yes or no? ## Hello, Kathy! How are you feeling? I'm sorry about the problem you're having. To be quite honest, I'm finding conflicting information on this, some information says it can cause them, but not others. So it may or may not be, there is always a first time for everything, including getting a UTI, though you never have before. Have you had this checked out, yet? Are on any other medications?
