A member asked:

Good morning doctors. I take Losartan HCTZ 100mg and Metoprolol ER 100mg. Would it be better (or not better) for my blood pressure control to have both medications with a diuretic/water pill?

A member asked:

Good morning doctors. My cardiologist switched me from Losartan to LosartanHCTZ, as my blood pressure is still high. I am nervous--can I expect any reactions or surprises after being on the HCTZ, other than more frequent urination?

A member asked:

Very good morning doctors. I was told Losartan HCTZ can raise both serum creatinine & BUN and lower eGFR. I take Losartan HCTZ and it seems to work great. How do I resolve this if I need a water pill diuretic to help control blood pressure?

Hi Drs. My blood pressure was high and my Dr. switched me from Losartan 100mg to Losartan Hctz 100mg. I have a one month supply. Should I take all 30 pills before seeing the doctor or should I take the pills on a trial basis and see the Dr in a week?
