Losartan 25mg Green Vs White Pills

Updated

Hello, Got a new refill on my Losartan 25mg. which was a small green pill versus the normal oval white. I started the new ones yesterday and within a half hour of taking them I develope a headache. Stayed with me all day. Not a pounding debilitating one but just a constant nagging headache. Today I woke up fine but within a half hour of taking my pill I have a headache again. Same as yesterday. Not sure if this is being caused by something in the new pill "fillers" as they call them. Just know I never had this issue until I started the green losartan yesterday. Do I wait a few more days and risk that this is going to continue as a side effect? Not that it makes me unable to function but it is an irritation that I never had to deal with in the past on Losartan. Being the holiday my doctor is out of office and town.

Hello, Headache! How are you feeling? I'm sorry about the problem that you're having.

There can be slight fluctuations in the amount of the active ingredient from one generic to another, they are allowed to differ from the name brand by as much as plus or minus 20%, so the new one you received may be a little higher or lower, which could explain the new side effects.

However, since the differences are very slight, less than a milligram, your body will usually adjust after a week or so and things should start to improve. You may also experience drowsiness, dizziness, increase urination and hypotension.

If things don't improve, then you should consult your doctor.

Is there anything else I can help with?

The small green pill sounds like the Aurobindo manufacturer from India, which also caused me problems. The small white pill manufacturer could be Solco Healthcare in the USA. Try switching back to your former manufacturer and I'll bet your problems, headaches, etc. cease.
