What Is The Comperable Mg Of 10 Lisinopril To Lossartan
(Newest replies first)

Updated

I was taking 10MG of LISINopril one time per day. I ended up with a cough. My doctor changed it to 25 MG of Losartan and now my blood pressure has gone back up. Are my new dozes equal to or less than my previous dosage. I do not understand the conversion of MG from drug to drug.

Hi, thanks for asking, I am feeling fine however can feel the higher blood pressure. I have been on Losartan about 35 days. I had been on LISINopril for about 6 years. Historically my bp has been 115/120 over 65/70. The last several days it has been 145/155 over 70/75. I have not had any side effects from the Losartan.
Do you think the elevation to 145/155 is something to worry about?

Hello, Mike! How are you?

How long ago did you make the switch?

There may be a slight rebound effect from stopping the Lisinopril and starting the new one waiting for it to reach its full level of efficacy.

Or it could be that the Losartan doesn't work for you and you may need to switch to something else.

The FDA lists the typical side effects of Losartan as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination and hypotension.

How high are your current readings?
