				F M
3	hypertension	My blood pressure went down in about three weeks, but I began to cough after about a week and eventually coughed so much and so hard my ribs were sore. I've stopped taking it.	I have read in some sources that a cough in these circumstances is often accompanied by other problems that are not so obvious. I'm no expert, but it's worth asking your doctor about if you have a cough from this medication and s/he recommends you continue it anyway.	F	65	3 months	12/17/2007
2	High Blood Pressure	Dry cough at first, then gagging to the brink of vomiting. Switched to Hyzaar (Losartan-HCTZ), it was worse after 2 tabs.	Worked great until dry coughing started. It did drop my BP to normal levels.	M	56	20 days 12.5 MG 1X D	1/6/2011
