Stop taking Losartan and change to a safer drug by consulting your doctor. muscle cramps may be because of dehydration. So drink plenty of water and salts like common salt. Losartan has side effects on cardio vascular system. So changing the drug is more prudent.

Yes. Losartan can cause dey cough similar to ace inhibitors. This cough is more likely to occur in patients who had cough with ace inhibitor. For any advice to change medicine, full record needs review.

It is generally not used as first line of treatment.
Hypertension at 22 years also needs detailed investigations to find out secondary etiologies
if not done you should have creatinine, electrolytes, usg abdomen with renal doppler done. Also get bp checked in both arms and legs.
You can start taking telmisaratan with chlorthalidone 40/6.25 once a day and increase to 80 mg if necessary.

Do not substitute or change any medications without the consent of the doctor who is treating the patient. If needed you can discuss about your doubts to the doctor who can help you understand the situation. The doctor tries to give what suits the individual patient and asks you to come for review regularly ( personal examniantion ) so that the present prescription is based on clinical and other findings.

Losartan is anti hypertensive so if given will reduce the bp which can be risky in person with normal bp.

Hello, Thanks for the query.
Losartan is used to treat high blood pressure. It is possible that doctor must have prescribed it for controlling the high BP. Since there is no mention of any BP readings, it is difficult for me to know exactly. Thanks.
