Losartan 50 MG Tablet Health Feed

Health Query

Hi. I'm a 37 years old female. I began having high blood sugar in dec 2019. Am taking metformin, losartan, and famotidine. Every morning i'm experiencing stomach cramps with very foul, yellow diarreah. Also extreme thirst. I'm drinking 2-3 gal of water per day & at least 3 qts just overnight. My blood sugars are in a normal range, but I am still thirsty. Also have not menstruated for 63 days. I've done multiple pregnancy tests. All negative. I'm 5'10" tall. Weigh 220. I eat a healthy diet, lots of veggies, protein, low carb, nearly zero sugar. Seldom eat out, no alcohol or cigarettes. Maybe one diet soda a week. I have always been healthy so i'm really struggling now to find answers & my doctor seems at a loss.

These are symptoms of irritable bowl. Metformin may cause these symptoms. I would recommend to reduce dose of metformin to half of what you are taking. Do not take soda based drinks as it worsens irritable bowl. Try to reduce and gradually stop metformin by following strict diet and exercise. Also I would recommend you to check thyroid tests. Also try to avoid wheat/ maida completely for one month from your diet. This may help you. If still you find problems, please consult some other doctor.

Asked for male, 59 years old from Vadodara

For the last 5 years I have been taking the medicine for controlling BP. Every after 3-4 months, I use to meet Doctor for check up. My BP is maintained on in the range of 135-140 by 85-90. Initially high BP was detected in the range of 170 by 95, which has come down and was well maintained. But in the last two visits on April 15 and Sept 15, the BP measured and found 150 by 90 and 170 by 95. I found LTK H, Stamloveta M and Ecosprin was the most suitable combination for myself, since during that period BP was found very consistent. Lastly till Sep 4th, LTK 50 and Crevast 10 had been continuing, but today it has been changed to LTK 50, LTK H and RXor 10 since BP found high today. So I feel the urgency for second opinion / advice online. I never smoke, drink, but eat fish daily, and chicken maximum twice in a month and mutton very rare.

Your bp seems to have controlled earlier group of med. So you neednot change losartan with stamlobeta, if at all needed you take enam 5mg at night it will have good controlling effect.

Hi, My father is suffering from systolic hypertension. He is diagnosed 3 years back. The hypertension history is first he was given with amlodipine+valsartan 5/80 mg (exforge) before sleep when he take that medicine his systolic blood pressure become normal but diastolic decreases to 50 or less then the medication was changed and he started with amlodipine 5 mg (Norvasc) before sleep but the problem remains same then the physician changed it from 5 mg to Amlodipine 2.5 mg (Lodopin) before sleep but the problem remain same and there was no success. We were referred to cardiologist who after taking the echo and ecg said that he is having no cardiac issues and suggested losartan 50 mg (eziday) before sleep. Now with this medication the issue is that his diastolic comes to normal if he takes medicine but systolic is going high up to 175 - 185 then he changes it to valsartan 80 mg (diovan) before sleep but the problem remain same with this medicine but the slight change that appears is his blood pressure remains normal till mid day and after mid day it starts going up and till night it again reaches to 165-175. I want to ask is there any solution for the above case. Your response will be much appreciated.

Go back to amlodipine. Keep systolic BP less than 150. Ignore diastolic BP. Measure his BP only once every two weeks on fixed dates after resting for ten minutes. Completely avoid measuring at any other time.

people do live with one kidney. example is our ex PM Atal Bajpai
you're getting good medicines to control blood pressure
please check with your doctor about medicines being toxic to kidneys. ACE inhibitors group you are taking
under supervision of doctors, get blood pressure controlled by safer medicines like betablockers
