Accepted Answer

One glass: You are already taking a couple of sedatives. Combining with alcohol can be dangerous. Would limit to one glass a day max. If you need more to relax then maybe you need to look into other techniques like exercise, yoga, stretching, meditation etc.

Question 2

my foot is swollen and it hurts when i move. is there any meds i can take? (side note: i also take baby aspirin and losartan)

Foot pain.:  Did you injury your foot? If you are already taking aspirin then consider acetaminophen. There are also many topicals.  If you take an NSAID, don't take highest doses since you are on aspirin.

Question 5

does losartan causes persistent, irritative/dry cought?

Accepted Answer

Less likely: More common with ace inhibitors than angiotensin receptor inhibitors.

Question 6

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.
