For High Blood Pressure "I was prescribed this medication 3 weeks ago for high blood pressure after I had coughing fits with Lisinopril. This medication seems to work part of the time and keeps my blood pressure in high 120's to mid 130's. I am on 25mg. Side effects I have are random cough (not too bad), dry throat, loose stools and I've noticed an increase in sharp chest pains on the left side of my breast. I see the cardiologist in 2 weeks and hope she can help me sort this problem out."

For High Blood Pressure "I have had high blood pressure for years and have just started a medicine routine. I tried Zestril and had great results but did not like the cough. So, my doctor switched me to Cozaar. This makes me cough, makes me tired, dizzy, and constipated."

For High Blood Pressure "Just got prescribed Cozaar one week ago to manage hypertension. My dosage is very low-25 mg. However, I am experiencing a persistent cough. I experienced the same side effect when I tried lisinopril. Have a follow-up appointment with doctor next week."

For High Blood Pressure "I was taking enalapril for about six months and was coughing a lot. I just switched to Losartan potassium and so far it lowered my blood pressure better than enalapril, however, I am still coughing. It is very annoying and I will probably ask to be changed again to another medicine."

"I have been on Cozaar for many years. I did have a nagging cough, which neither I nor my doctor connected to Cozaar. She thought the cough might be due to reflux, and I started taking generic Omeprazole (Prilosec), and the cough went away. I don't know if the Cozaar was causing the indigestion, but if you like taking Cozaar and have a cough, you might try this."

For High Blood Pressure "Very bad sore throat, cough, and terrible headache. Lisinopril did the same thing. Micardis worked better but very expensive."
