I have neuropathy in my feet. I am on Losartan. Now I'm very concerned. My Dr. put me on it about the same time I started feeling pain in my feet. I am not wondering about the neuropathy being a side effect? I'm wondering if there are any studies on this?

Others have mentioned the same thing - Medication side effects: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/medication-side-effects-1/.

Here's a 2019 study - Losartan treatment attenuates the development of neuropathic thermal hyperalgesia induced by peripheral nerve injury in rats: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30731141/
