Cozaar side effects

At first everything seemed ok with Cozaar (50 mg). My doc put me on this since she said it has the least side effects. I had a little dry mouth at first and also muscle pain. The muscle pain is improving but within the last week the dry mouth is almost unbearable. I am constantly thirsty.

Does anyone have this excessive dry mouth?

I've been on cozaar for 4 years without any problems. I'm still no sure how my blood pressure became high, it was fine up til age 50, actually it was perfect. Now at 61, as my doctor said, I no longer have high blood pressure thanks to Cozaar.

However, recently the numbers have been high 140/90 so next visit I think I'll ask if there should be a change in dosage. I did read with interest yasseio's post saying that there was a 20 weight gain while on Cozaar and a weight loss after stopping taking the drug. I too have gained, maybe too many ho-ho's??? haha... but really

Well all, thanks for the posts, hope to read more of your progress as time goes on.

I was switched from Natrilix SR to Coversyl. After about two days on Coversyl, I developed a persistent dry cough. I went back to the doctor and complained. She then put me on Cozaar. For the first 4 weeks, everything was fine. Then I started to developed the same dry cough that I experienced with Coversyl and it wouldn't go away. Need to see the doctor again.

Happy to see this website...I had also knee...wrist and hand pain...
I use 25 mg Cozaar a day.....now I stopped...and feeling much better.

Even 139-79 bloodpressure..............much better as with the medicine,HOW COME?

wrist, ankle, knee pain. All over muscle pain, have to take Advil to sleep and function. Fatigue, sleepiness, hoarseness, dry cough. Jaw pain, swollen face. Unable to use hands due to wrist and hand swelling.

I had been on Cozaar off and on for about three years. Although the medication did bring my blood pressure down, my weight steadily increased, and no matter what I did, I could not lose a pound. I was tired, depressed, and my vision changed for the worse. I had increased urination, and I also developed a strangling type cough, and would have coughing fits every now and then. I experienced light headedness and a loss of concentration. Initially I did not attribute these symptoms to Cozaar, because they came on gradually. I never needed glasses before Cozaar, my appetite was the same, and I was not on any other prescription drug. About 6 months ago, I decided to ween myself off of Cozaar. During that time I have lost about 20 lbs, without dieting--eating the same way I did on Cozaar. My concentration and energy level has increased, and my vision has improved--I don't need reading glasses anymore. My blood pressure fluctuates from normal to medium-high, so I am looking into more natural remedies to control it. Please remember that drugs treat the symptoms, not the disease.

no urine output

I have had no side effects and I have been taking it for quite sometime.Iwas put on it because I havehad diabetes for so many years that it would help expand my veins in my kidneys
