Taken off Bisinoprol due to low pulse rate and put on Losartan 100mcg just wondering what side effects this has anyone had a good result with this drug. Thank you.

Hi,

My Dad has been taking Losartan for several years. Sadly now palliative, with end stage heart failure. The H.F Nurses said Losartan is a ‘prognostic’ drug to help support his heart, in combination with Furosemide, Spironolactone, Dapagliflozin and Bisoprolol.

It would be difficult to pinpoint any specific side effects, due to his cocktail of medication - other than it did lower his blood pressure (which is low anyway due to the diuretics and beta-blocker), when his dose was increased recently.

I hope you get on ok with it.

I am currently on Losartan 100 for high blood pressure treatment. It seems to work well with no side effects for me. I find the only downside is that you are supposed to avoid eating grapefruit while on it.

I’ve been on Losartan for years and not had any side effects from it.
