Is there an angiotensin II receptor antagonist generic alternative to the drug listed above? What is it's name? I only take one BP pill. ## Hello, Bert! How are you? Yes, there are a couple you could ask your doctor about trying, such as Losartan and Candesartan. I've actually taken both and found them to work very well for me. The FDA lists their typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination and hypotension. Is there anything else I can help with?
