I been with losartan and hyzaar for more than 15 yes , it control BP very well, but since the original box change from MSD to organon I start to have constant cough with chest like asthma tightness, since I also asthmatic patient I rely on my nebuliser for 2 mths until I stop all this medicine. My physician didn't believe it is due to these drugs but I refuse to take it after I retake these medication and develop the same problem. Now I have to test and try other drugs which cause me a problem too.
Although it did help lower my BP it has given me a constant dry cough, sore throat, insomnia and cold/flu sysmptoms. I have also experienced blurred vision, back and chest pains and rapid heartbeat.
After more than 10 years taking this medication i have develop a dry cough and sore throat which my allergist thinks it is coming from the hyzaar has anyone experience this?
I had taken this medicine for 12 years already for mild hp. had some side effect such as dizzy. recent years I develop a bad allergy with running nose and cough. I finally read that these are side effect of the medicine indeed . I plan to cut down or stop take it .
After 3 days of being on this medication I began to experience muscle weaknesss and blurred vision. I couldn't even hold my arms up when washing my hair. I stopped taking this med and noticed that the weakness went away. Restarted the med and noticed the same symptoms had returned. So I d/c'd the medicine and contacted my physician.
Have been on this med for 8 months. Was keeping my BP in check, but recently started having problems. Extreme lower back pain, blurred vision, tingling & pain in joints.....have doctors appointment to get off of this! Had to switch to this med because of insurance...was on benicar before and never had any problems with it in 5 years of using it!
I originally was put on a high dose,, then cut in half because I was feeling overall crappy and had extremely dry mouth,, went to half a pill, still had the dry mouth although not as bad, had pressure in my head and slight chest pain while taking,, also developed a hemorrage in the eye,, not sure if this caused this or not,, it did relieve the swelling i get in my legs, it was not as bad,, if it did not make me feel like crap I diffently would take
This medication has caused high uric acid in my urine, it has also caused red pin dots on my skin, and has increased my blood sugar level. I have also suffered with ocular problems since taking this medication!
Hyzaar works fine...generic made in India gives me intestinal problems after taking about 10 pills......
generic form Losartan not working.. having pressure in chest and lightheadedness and blood pressure higher 198/90.
My physician withdrew it because of low blood pressure. About a week later I developed gout like symptoms in my feet and overall foot pain. I have less upper body pain but quite a bit of continuing neck pain which I had for years.
It was fine at first. Now I am experiencing extreme hand, leg and foot cramps, along with some light headedness.
has performed the job well for an extended period of tiem.
When taking this medication is causes to have cramps in my feet which I know is from a decrease in my K+ and I also take a K+ supplement and drink plenty of water but the cramps still come
After trying 12 drugs for hypertension, with strong side effects from each, Hyzaar had the least side effects and controlled the blood pressure.
I've been on Hyzaar for decades, with no apparent side effects. But recently I looked at the paper that came with my refill. There is a very nasty side effect that I seem to have acquired over the years. It turns out that the drug may cause basal cell or squamous cell cancers. I had no idea that Hyzaar could cause that, but now I know why I've had skin problems for the past 40 years or so. I hope there's a good alternative drug available.
