Suggest An Alternate Medicine For Losartan

YyyyIve been on losartan for many years,and it has worked well for blood pressure, and as a diuretic . However, recently I ve experienced increasing side affects such as numbness in my feet, blurred vision, and irregular heartbeat. I would like to try an alternative. Is there one that would not have these side affects?

Hello and thanks you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein and I will try to help you as much as I can with my answer.

Well, you should try with some other diuretics such as fursemide,spironolacton or tiazide. These were obviously side effects and spironolacton should be avoided in future.

I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
