Reaction to Losartan

I have been on Losartan fo about a week... one tablet a day to help with

blood flow into my hands.

Seem to have had a painful response in knee, elbow joints, hands swelling more.

Anyone else had this experience?

Also taking Hydroxychloroquine and Mycophenalate.

Have a good NY 2021 as possible all and what is the thought on the C19 for our community ?

Hi, my hands are now really red and swollen too. My dose of Losartan was increased to 2 daily as there hadn’t been an improvement. My consultant instruction was to stop taking it if no effect and I plan to do that. We’re you told anything similar when you started it? Jen

I am on mycophenolate, oral suspension, as well. Amlodipine low dose for my Raynauds (fingertips) and the combo has worked fine. As winter is here, I have experience cold hands. I recently received a gift (Karecel hand warmer) that has worked wonders for those moments. Small with easy grip, UB port chargeable.
