I have diabetes and take 25 mg am and 25 mg at bedtime as prescribed by physcian. It seems to keep the BP pretty well under control.

Before cozaar my BP was 190/150. After a month of cozaar my BP was just measured at the doctors office as 190/150. My body defeated cozaar! You people making all these comments about your lowered BP should be embarrassed. I am proud I defeated cozaar and ashamed you didn't!

Moderate hypertension tried amlodipine which gave me palpitations and anxiety. Switched to Losartan which seem to work great at first, then effectiveness faded and developed severe tinnitus, constant headache, pressure in the ears and head, and occasional dizziness. Had a really bad episode where I experienced extreme ringing in left ear and vertigo, couldn't walk, ended up in ER and everything checked out. I had mild tinnitus before the Losartan, but this is of a magnitude greater and has really impaired me. Debating getting off the losartan but can't find another BP that isn't a risk as well.

Ever since I was on it and now I'm off of it I have been sweating a lot more. I never had a problem with sweating, but I still have a problem now after I have been off of this medication for years. It has changed my body permanently!! One time I got very dizzy while shopping at the store. All of a sudden out of the clear blue it hit me. Good thing I had my husband with me for support. This medication is not very safe in my opinion!!! Why don't the Dr tell you about your side affects?

My doctor put me on Losartan for about 3 months, and it was working OK, then one day I was driving and lost all hearing completely for about 30 seconds. I panicked and went to the ENT doctor, who told me that it was a rare side effect for Losartan to cause hearing loss, and that I would eventually lose it all permanently, no matter if I stopped taking the Losartan immediately. Since then, (about a year) I have lost a great deal of hearing. I have qualified for hearing aids, and an amplifier for my phone. I also have repetitive tinnitus, and a constant feeling of itching in one ear. Drives me crazy! Just research the meds that doctors love to dish out. Really know what to look for in side effects. This one is a real bummer.Read More Read Less

The generic form of this medication did not work at all. Ended up in the ER with tachardia. Prescribed this because the Atenolol I was taking has a shortage with all 6 manufacturers, but was very effective.

This has worked for me for years!! The only problem is that my insurance co. makes me pay because the generic does NOT work on me. I have tried 2 different mfgs. and the generic does NOT work. Now my insurance co. has got it up to $90.00 a month out of MY pocket besides what they pay (if anything) the generic would be free but it does not work!

Switched to this off Metoprolol by my Dr., stayed on it a week. Blood pressure actually increased notably and heart rate went much higher than normal as well. Medicine seemed to do the exact opposite of what it was supposed to do.
