: sometimes side-effects of meds are very individual and cant be explained. Best is to discuss this with your doc- get away from this class of meds and try another. Good luck.

Good evening doctors! How often should a patient with high blood pressure (takes Metoprolol ER and Losartan) heart issues (takes Plavix), and high cholesterol (controlled by medication-Rosuvastatin) get bloodwork/blood tests and heart tests/imaging?

A member asked:

Losartan and Valsartan have the same half life of 6 hours so why do some doctors say that Losartan has to be taken twice a day to be effective while Valsartan is considered a once a day pill?
