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.   (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA) FDA Approval Date: 1998-10-13

 1  High BP I actually thought I was dying. Extreme dizziness, tachycardia, confusion, insomnia, loss of appetite, burning sensation from my lady parts up through my chest, extreme chest pain, SOB. Anytime I have a little pain or any movement through my body I get very dizzy. When will this stop. I haven't taken it in 5-6 days. Has anyone else experienced side effects this long? Please email me. I have been to one of the biggest medical centers in the south and all my tests (heart,CT, bloodwork) came back beautiful. F 41 21 days

 1  hypertension Total insomnia, extreme drowsiness (yes, both at the same time!), coughing, burning sensation in the chest, very low heart rate. Even when taken in the morning after good night's sleep and strong coffee, this drug causes me to feel extremely drowsy within an hour, but IRONICALLY it gives me 100% INSOMNIA at the same time! Maddening - it makes me terribly sleepy but totally unable to fall asleep!!! Also it causes coughing and burning sensation in chest. Only moderately lowers BP but it makes my heart rate drop by about 10 bpm. I will never take it again. M 69 3 days

 2  High blood pressure due to stress Dizziness, low mood, emotionally/mentally very low, memory loss, aggression, tearful, muscular pain,lack of sleep, loss of appetite,poor concentration and back pain. My search for side effects of lorsatan/cozaar, was the eye opener. I must stop this meds immediately to recover my health to normal before it's too late. Replace it by removing salt to Zero in diet to recover my health from severely crippling my health physically and mentally due to the side effects and enjoy my life by replacing with natural healthy diet I.e green smothie, made of parsley, cucumber, apples, celery and collard. Freshly squeezed grape fruit, lemon, raw honey, apple cider vinegar. And GOLDEN DRINK. made with Tumuric, powder cinnamon, dry ginger & black pepper. Mix all the above in warm milk and have it as hot drink 2hrs prior to going bed. Have a pint of warm H2O before going bed. It worthed as it removes your wrinkles cos your body is looked after with this home made medicine. Don't forget daily walks and a dancing aerobics in front of the mirror twice AM & PM before going bed. Happy Health Happy body. F 59 1 months
