High Blood Pressure
"My 90 yr old Mother has been on generic Losartin for 8 years.  She took 50mg a day and it controlled her blood pressure.  We have a new Dr. and he upped her dosage to 75mg which seemed to do well until she got Type A influenza.  Now she is recuperating and when we give her losartan it seems to knock her blood pressure really low and makes her weak for 2 hrs.  She has had a hacking cough and recurrent bronchitis for years. I did not know that could be a side effect of the losartan. These are the only meds she takes except for a daily multi-vitamin."
