Hydrochlorothiazide / losartan for High Blood Pressure "While it is effective in lowering blood pressure, I have experienced side effects, to include ringing in the ears, dizziness, rapid heart beat, odd muscle pain and slightly elevated liver values. I also experienced rapid weight gain when switched to a generic version of the medicine."

For High Blood Pressure "Have used Hyzaar for several years now in conjunction with other medicines for Type 2 Diabetes. Until recently, I used this and never had any side effects other than a slight cough occasionally. My ACTOS is now apparently struggling with my body to keep insulin at levels to keep my blood sugar under control. With two issues, my anxiety attacks and dizziness have been more frequent. I have taken a few days of complete regime (food, sugar control, etc.), and things are coming back in line. My trip to the ER pointed to a muscle deterioration issue which I have to take up with my doctor, a side effect mentioned for this drug. Weight gain and fluid retention are creeping back after many years of smooth sailing."

Hydrochlorothiazide / losartan for High Blood Pressure "Works very well for blood pressure! 6 months into 100/25 mg, I am diabetic now, very painful back pain, gained too much weight and have to up my fiber intake daily. I am Asian, this seems to be very common with other Asians who are on the same meds."
