COZAAR  (LOSARTAN POTASSIUM):  Losartan is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and to help protect the kidneys from damage due to diabetes. It is also used to lower the risk of strokes in patients with high blood pressure and an enlarged heart. Lowering high blood pressure helps prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems. Losartan belongs to a class of drugs called angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs). It works by relaxing blood vessels so that blood can flow more easily.   FDA Approval Date: 1998-10-13 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)

 1  For edema, I THOUGHT! EDEMA! Also insomnia, pretty much about 75% of the side effects listed on Rx List! IT ALMOST KILLED ME. Also it kinda made me like a zombie.......READ THE SIDE EFFECTS of ANY MEDICINE BEFORE YOU TAKE IT! Go to http://www.healthsquare.com for the REAL TRUTH that Rx List MIGHT not tell you, Rx list.com is a COPY verbatim of the package insert - duh, like they are going to tell allllllll the bad stuff so you won't take the medicine?? There are other sites, too: Drugs.com, a pharmacist-sponsored site, but mostly HealthSquare will give you THE WHOLE TRUTH, ALL side effects etc. Go to ALL OF THEM and COLLECT INFO BEFORE YOU TAKE ANY DRUGS >>>>>>>>>>I WISH I HAD People are not sufficienty warned about the side effects, especially is someone is having problems with EDEMA.....and notice change in personality or activity level. INDERAL has been around for a LONG TIME, it's safe and not much side effects, I've been on that for YEARS!!!!! COZAAR IS TOO NEW, they just got it apporved in 2003, stick with the ones that they KNOW THE SIDE EFFECTS and will PRINT THEM, because people have taken them long enough. COZAAR MESSES WITH TOO MANY SYSTEMS, and the way it works or its benefits are NOT CLEARLY STATED. ITS A RISK YOU DON M 43 90 days
