For High Blood Pressure "I am going into my fourth year on 100 mg of Losartan. Blood pressure is still around 180/95. But I am not experiencing the bad symptoms others are having. No headaches, palpitations, vertigo, upset stomach, etc. The pills I purchase come in different forms and colors. I sometimes wonder if the quality is tested or not. I had one 90-day prescription that was made overseas. Yeah, it was a generic brand. Maybe it doesn't really work, never made any improvements in my BP."

For High Blood Pressure "Didn’t like side effects of 25 mg dose. Dizzy spells with back spasms were terrible. I quit, eliminating unhealthy food, plant-based diet with exercise. BP 114/71 now."
