Insomnia and cozaar (losartan): You need to speak to the physician (P) who ordered the cozaar (losartan) (C) for you. C is from an arb which have very few side effects. If you are having insomnia (I) from C, ask your P to order you either another arb or switch you to another BP medicine, or arb, to see if it gets better. Good luck

Cozaar (losartan) and insominia: Cozaar (losartan) (c) can cause some patients to have insomnia (i). If this is a problem for you, speak to your physician and see if you can be changed to another drug in c's class, arb, or a different class of meds to see if your problem of i can be alleviated. Good luck.
