Question 2

pls prescribe a vitamin for a 33yrs old male who is on losartan 50mg once daily for htn+. feels little weakness in body.....

Accepted Answer

See below: Any generic, once-a-day, multiple vitamin should cover your needs. Often the least expensive one is the best choice. If you're eating a fairly balanced diet, the vitamin is unlikely to be necessary. Fatigue is almost never due to vitamin deficiency; if your diet is poor, protein and calorie malnutrition is more likely than just vitamin deficiency - I'd look for another cause. Hope you feel better!

Question 3

can losartan cause migraines?

Accepted Answer

Haven't heard of it: I prescribe a lot of Losartan, and I haven't had anyone (that I know of, anyway) who got migraines from it. However, medications are a common cause of headache.

When my pts think they might be having a side effect from a med, I tell them the only solution is to see what happens when they stop it. Talk to your doc.

Good Luck.

Drug choices: Both losartan (l) and valsartan (v) are drug of the angiotensin receptor blocker  class. Perhaps you were switched due to your BP was not controlled on the dose of the l you were on. Both have few side effects and reduce BP and proteinuria quite well. L should be given twice a day and v can be given once daily for maximum their maximum effect.
