Can Losarton Potassium Or Pantorazol Be The Cause For The Pain In The Feet?

I take Losarton Potassium for high blood pressure and Pantorazol for my stomach. Around the time I started taking them, close to 3 years ago, my feet began to hurt. I am currently doing treatment for neuropathy of my feet. Wondered if either one of these medications could be the cause. I do not have diabetes

Hi welcome to the health care magic

Losartan can lead leg pain and muscle cramps as a side effect

But usually neuropathy not occurs by it...

Rule out any specific cause for neuropathy if present like vitamin b12 deficiency, diabetes etc...

Neurological examination done for your condition

Plantar fascitis, arthritis etc like causes also ruled out and treated accordingly

Take care

Consult physician for examination
