Comment:
Originally prescribed a low dose resulted in minimal reductions in BP. Later a higher dose combined with exercise and diet changes have resulted in large and significant lowering of SBP and DBP. Now BP falls within the new AHA normal BP recommendations.

Have had a heart attack and 3 stents in 2013. Corgard 40mg always worked well. The last year, having to take more corgard daily, having heart palpitations, and averaging 150/90. Started on Losartan 25mg and for one whole week, even with caffiene, nictotene, BP taking 3 times a day averages 110/65... Having to stop Corgard this stuff is a MIRACLE!!!

Now got shin and calf pain in left leg but leg cramps gone with supplement Diosmin. I do take a med for cholesterol so keeping watchful eye on leg circulation issue. Hope to ween off BP med. with mild daily exercise.

I'm taking 50 mg Losarten 3 years then he incresed to 100 I took it for 1 week BP came down to normal but the side effects of tiredness and dizzyness were too much. I went back down to the 50mg. Went on KETO diet and exersized, already loosing weight. I also ordered StrictionVP and will try this and ween off the Losarten. Taking this drug is like taking 1 step forward and 2 back!
