Hypertension: Both losartan and valsartan are angiotensin 2 receptor blockers. The losartan/hct is a combination pill with both losartan and the diuretic hydrochlorothiazide, valsartan is the drug alone without hct. They are both effective antihypertensives.

I recently moved from Grant Nebraska to Lincoln Nebraska due to a role change within Farm Credit Services. I get my RX refills at CVS by phone/mail. I need to refill my high blood pressure medicine LOSARTAN/HCT 50-12.5 TAB. However, when i ordered it they needed a renewed RX from my doctor. But they said the Dr. would not renew the RX because I had not been to see him in a year. I don't want to take a trip back to North Platte to see my old Dr. Can write me a new script? renewal of RX
