Is there any recall on NDC 43547-425-09? ## Hi Linda, as to your original question about a recall, I checked on FDA MedWatch and did not find anything about your specific brand of Losartan/HCTZ tablets (NDC 43547-425, manufactured by Solco) being recalled.

I've been taking Losaar plus 50mg/12.5mg and now I'm sitting with foot problems and swelling of the ankle.

My wife was very dizzy and tired while taking Lozartan Potassium along with Atenolol 25 mg. She is taking half a pill now (for a day) and it seems to have helped so far.

.I am using this medicine(Losavas 25) for last 1 year. Blood pressure is now 130/90. Before i year it was 140/90. After taking medicine BP was lowered. ## Have you consulted your doctor?
