The side effects are horrible and the night sweats are worse than menopause, then add stomach pain and vomiting. My insurance co changed me to Losartan Potassium and today I went back to Cozaar never had a problem with it,I had taken it for years.

Comment:
I took Lisinopril and while it really did lower my BP, I coughed for weeks! Every night! Now I am on Losartan, and it is not lowering me much. 140/90 is where it is. I am also losing hair...I don't see it as a possible side effect, perhaps it is just worry. I am 45 and healty with exception of HBP so maybe I need to take a chill pill...so to speak.
