@carolinefaye Do you mean "Losartan"...with an n at the end? ... what you listed is a combination of 2 drugs for 2 purposes.. Lately I have been taking that in 2 separate pills... it was combined for years... The Losartan is to relax the veins to allow blood to flow easier... the HCTZ is supposed to allow you to make more urine to get rid of excess salts ...Ken

Yes, Lorsartan HCTZ is what I am taking. Did you have any problems with it?

Interesting. My husband was given Losartan after his Carotid surgery on his neck, he was told it was to keep his blood pressure low which it already was. I figured they just wanted it lower than it was. What you said about it relaxing the veins to allow blood flow makes so much more sense. Thank you.
