What Does A Losartan Pill Look Like On One Side

I was getting from my pharmacist Losartan 25mg as a small round white pill with imprint HH 111. Recently, the pharmacist is giving it to me in a larger round white pill that's scored and has an imprint of 11. I'm a bit concerned that they're not the same. ## Same thing happened to me last week. Got mine from Walgreens...Do you feel the same on the new pill? ## I recently received the same for my Losartan and it came from Walgreens as well. Is it the same? ## Sharon, I dont know what, if any, the diff is. The question is do you feel the same on this new pill as did the old one and is there any difference in your BP readings? thx ## I'm a little afraid to take the new pill so I'm staying off it until I find out if it's ok! ## @Sharon, i understand. I'm I having...

My old white oval losartan pill with the imprint cl14 did not mention on the bottle that potassium was part of the formula. The new pill is oval and green with the numbers 4 6 on the front & the number 3 on the back side. Are these two pills the same? ## I was taking a small oval green pill 50Mg. and there were two round green pills mix in the bottle i just thought they ran out of the oval ones so I took the round one and 15min later I couldn't even walk and i couldn't even talk right My Husband though someone drugged me. I called the Dr. and he told me to stop taking it immediately. Can someone tell me how many MG was in that round green pill? ## When a medication is listed this way, for example, as Losartan Potassium, that doesn't mean potassium is really part of the f...

SInce being switched from lisinipril 20 mg to Losartan Pot 50 mg about three months ago I have gained 12 pounds and always feel hungry. I also feel jittery. Could this be a side effect of Losartan Pot? ## Yes, these can be side effects of taking Losartan, especially the appetite change and weight gain, that has been reported in up to 4% of the people that take it. Learn more Losartan details here. Have you talked to your doctor about it? It just may not be the right medication for you and you may need to switch to something else. ## This is very interesting to read. I was looking for different side effects because I'm having trouble with serious muscle and joint pains, but have also gained about 12 pounds and eat constantly. I'm in the process of working with my dr to switch med...

I've been on losartan for about 6 weeks. About 10 days ago I started having a rash around my mouth. I think it is caused by the losartan as it is the only thing new. Could this be possible? ## Hello, Pete! How are you? It would be very odd for it to appear that long after starting it and extremely odd for it to be localized just around your mouth. What does the rash look like? Is it painful? Itchy? Blistering? The FDA lists the typical side effects of Losartan as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination and hypotension. ## I’m trying to find out if Losartan could possibly be the cause of my skin rash. Also, I’m wondering if it could be a side effect or allergic reaction from a medication? I just recently realized when I take my blood pressure m...

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...

I have a presciption for losartan and the pills look different from my previous prescription. The imprint is 572 and they are round pill and white. Are they Losartan? ## Given the description provided, I located the pill marked M 572 to be Albuterol Sulfate (4 mg). This white round pill has the letter M on the top half of the pill divided by a score line with 572 imprinted on the bottom half. The backside of the pill is blank with no score. For more information about this drug, please refer to the link below... If you have any more questions or concerns about this pill please post back and I will be happy to help you. ## A round, white tablet, with an M, a score line and then a 572 is NOT Losartan!! I think your pharmacy made an error. M 527 with that description contains 4mgs of Albute...

Been thanking Losartan/HCT 50-12.5 for about 10 months. About three months ago I started getting a lump on my left breast it has been tender and sore. I'm a man and I was getting worried about it mite be Breast Cancer. I went and had a mammography done today the Doctor told me it was not cancer. I ask her if it may be the medication I was taking she looked at a long list of medicationand Losartan was on the list. I call my Doctor and spoke to the nurse and told her what i found out she said she would talk to the Doctor and would get back to me. I hope that it goes away soon if i get a new prescription ## Hello, Vincent! How are you? Did they say what the lump was?

Statins are known to cause memory loss. I've read that losartan can cause the same side effects as statin drugs. Is memory loss one of the side effects losartan can cause? ## No, it is not a statin, it is actually classified as an angiotensin 2 receptor antagonist, but yes it can cause memory impairment as a side effect, though it is very rare for it to do so. The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, and hypotension. Is the patient on any other medications? ## yes, patient is on amlodipine. He has none of the 'normal' side effects you mentioned. He is always tired. When I looked up side effects for his meds, both said extreme fatigue was a possible side effect. He is cold frequently when no one else is. Is...

Losartan is one of way too many unsafe drugs my husband has been given. He's a child of the 60s and 70s so he thinks 'goody uppers and downers'. You know the remedy in a bottle. I'm always voicing my opinion to him yet he refuses to self educate and his lingering cough might be a very dreadful side effect of Losartan or any other med. So far this one looks like the culprit. Bad thing is he phoned in a new app and told them. Naturally they have their script pad out waiting to add more meds to his already poorly polluted body. This is disheartening. I've emailed him criteria to read. He loves to read. Books! Nothing meaningful tho. :( One med even said it has an FDA black box warning. *big sigh* No idea. I married him and in sickness and health but others shouldn't...

It's small white pill, very small. with imprint 57on frontside and a halfmoon shape in back. I don't think it's diazepam .5 because those have either an r or what looks like a Jesusfish on the other side. ## From your description, the closest match I can find is a round white pill imprinted with a half moon logo on one side and the number "573" on the other. This particular pill has been identified as Losartan potassium 50 mg; used in the treatment of high blood pressure. Manufacturer: Actavis National Drug Code (NDC): 16714-0582 Another close match is Lorazepam 0.5 mg; also manufactured by Actavis.

Please help identify this pill. It is solid white oval/elliptical no scoring or inscription other than 13 on one side only. It is supposed to be losartan 100mg.

What numbers are embedded in 50 mg Losartan white oval tablets ? ## Are you looking for the plain Losartan tablets, or the ones with Hydrochlorothiazide? Some of the markings on the plain Losartan 50mg, white oval tablets are: LU P22 Z16 APO LS 50 SZ 213 50 114 54 125 M LN50 and 952.

I have been taking losartan for a few months and have hoarseness and feel the need to clear my throat intermittently. It’s not everyday but feels like it’s getting worse. ## I have been given losartan combo with HTZ for several years for Blood Pressure. At age 70 voice was suddenly barely there. At 72 I see no hope of regaining voice. Run to a good ENT DOCTOR who will look at your throat and vocal chords. Determine soon reason for throat issue. Medical professionals are not quick to blame a medicine that has been perscribed for you. However at least locate possible cause & treatment before you lose voice. ## Losartan has been known to cause dry mouth, dry throat, and a cough, as possible side effects, along with nausea, dizziness, and frequent urination. Once it gets lik...

I started taking Losartan 50mg two and a half weeks ago and I have developed tinnutis, this is not a common side effect but an adverse one, I've previously been on Rampiril but didn't feel well, will this side effect go away or will it be permanent or should I change medication again, and if it's in the same family of arbs will I get it again. I'm getting quite worried, docs saying my ears look clear so don't know what to do. ## Yes, as reported by the U.S. FDA, that is a known side effect of this medication, along with nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination and hypotension. Such side effects are usually transient and go away, once your body gets used to the medication, but that may take 4 to 6 weeks. If it doesn't improve, after that point, or if it wo...

What kind of cold medicine is okay to take with the blood pressure medicine losartan? ## @Sunshine, For liability reasons, I think it's generally best to discuss this with your prescribing doctor or pharmacist. However you can always look up potential drug interactions via the University of Maryland Medical Center at: umm.edu/health/medical/drug-interaction-tool That webpage allows you to plug in specific drug names for an evaluation of their combined pharmacology and what/if any risk factors (or side effects) may be expected in certain scenarios. Sorry I couldn't give you more specific details, but if you have a medication in mind you can simply plug it into that drug interaction tool... Nevertheless, I'd still encourage you to double check with your medical provider(s) jus...
