Good morning Family. From last few days my blood pressure is high. I was using bisoprolol 5mg once daily from last 4 to 5 years. Today doctor recommend me Losartan potassium 25mg. It's working. My blood pressure is normal. Thank God.

But I am worried about sides effects of Losartan potassium.

I heard Losartan potassium decrease kidney function etc.

My husband takes them and has always been fine. He had a blood test after 6 weeks, when he first started them, and now has one every 6 months. Hopefully your doctor will monitor you ,too.

It's good that they have found something that works for you .

Hi I been on losartan for a good few years. No side effects.... Well none that I've noticed. Stick with it. As any mild side effects go after awhile. But if they become troublesome let your GP know 👍

So glad they switched your meds Asif. Don’t worry a lot of my family members take Losartan and it has been around for many years. It’s a good blood pressure medication. 🙏🏻prayers up to your healing. Do you feel less anxious with the blood pressure being stabilized now? Rooting for you.

I never did with losartan, but did with a couple others when they were added along with it. Had to go off of one of them.

Hi. I think you meant to ask Asif. For some reason it sent the reply to me. But good question. I’m wondering as well.
