- Lowering blood pressure with losartan, the generic form of Cozaar, works as well as more expensive and widely advertised drugs. Many people ultimately need several different drugs to optimize blood pressure control. Generally this is due to inadequate attention to diet and exercise. Success in treating high blood pressure requires a low salt diet, generous servings or fruit, vegetables and nuts with elimination of simple carbohydrates.
Finally, a doctor who answers a medical question in such a simple, straightforward, easy to understand way. God bless.
He probably retired. Disappeared from UTube. 😞
How about just eat high in potassium and stop losartan ?
What a excellent teacher.
This is very good. This Dr. actually gives us real information beyond just reading an RX label. Bravo.
Thank you!
Without Dr. Such as these, we would lack a great deal of needed information.
Excellent, excellent, excellent straight to the fast and points video. This doctor deserves to e listened to.
Straightforward, common sense explanations of medications. Thank you!
Thank you so much for your expertise. I love the way you pronounce your words! Glad I found you!

Well I have been on it since October of last year and I only had side effects for a month, fatigue dry mouth I was thirsty and then it went away. The pill totally agrees with me now and it has balanced my blood pressure completely.
Many,many Thanks, Doctor....always a pleasure listening to you..

Interesting lecture👍🏿
What if all 5 doctors including two cardiologists have tried every BP med and nothing works. I changed my diet and life style, best shape of my life. Lost over 120 pounds. No sugar, no carbs. My heart in great shape, kidneys great shape. But doctors kept pushing BP meds on me when it was only slightly elevated at the doctors office ( white coat and Central Apnea ) the more BP meds they put into my body, the higher the blood pressure went. Every medication made me sicker, some of the medications gave me chest pain, trouble breathing, passing out. Now losartan postassium has caused me to gain 120 pounds back. I now weigh 320 pounds, last year I weighed 200 pounds and muscular. The doctors and these medications have ruined my life.
Same here
Thank You Doctor Ken for this valuable information as you well explained the benefits of taking Losartan of which I am taking with Metoprolol and Amlodipine since I had stroke symptoms. Thanks to my cardiologist. Proper diet and exercise is the other added ingredient.
I was given Losartan. 100 mgs and woke up with violent shaking so fast with my heart pumping off the charts and it felt like every organ was pumping.
When I stopped shaking, my BP was over 200. I had to have my daughter go with me in Uber to the clinic
I had trouble walking
I was diagnosed with papiltations. I had had an EKG prior to the Losartan prescription. My ekg read normal and notation they thought this was the heart of a 35 yr old person. I am 72.
Allergic reaction.
I took it for the first time today and my heart started racing and Thumb threw my chest. Then I went in to sweats & hot flashes. SMH. I’m 36
VERY. Knowledgeable. Doctor
thank you
Sir very good
I've had doctors trying to control my blood pressure for more than 20 years and losartan, amlodipine, perindopril, casartan and metoprolol all didn't help. It wasn't until I was on a diuretic that it came down except that I had a runaway heartrate until it was combined with bisoprolol.
The others helped for for a few weeks but I ended up needing higher and higher doses with my BP always ending up in the 160/100 range.
Now with diuretic/beta blocker combo (both low doses, ie 1/4 of the smallest available dose of the diuretic and 1/2 of the beta blocker) my BP is 115/70 now and has been for over a year.
Mine doesn't come down. I really don't care anymore. Glad your doc found a way and is working for you.
@@KH-xi9td The biggest problem with controlling BP through medication is that it only works when the mechanism that is causing your BP to be up is actually understood. The BP rule book says give class A drug and if that doesn't work try class B and if that doesn't work..... Guesswork. Most people give up. I read a very complex paper some 20 years ago where researcher had designed a computer program that required a whole bunch of measurements to be taken and the program would then give the combination of drugs to use. I can't remember where I read it or what has become of it. There is one thing additional I did, I had a blocked artery in the rear of my hear that they bypassed and that (I think) might have been a contributing factor.

Great info
Sartan substances for exampel Olmesartan binding an AT1-receptor als Orthostreic or Allosteric ?
Thanks
Thanks so much for the brilliant information Doctor!! Today i started Losartan 50mg..as my bp fluctuates from 150/ 84 /65 to 179/110/65 ...even 201/ 118/ 65 and so i finally asked for a medication as i am a singer entertainer and my breathing is out of whack when the bp is very high..my heart is of a 21 year old so my cardiologist told me 1 year ago and as im now 68 i need to sort my bp out, i dont drink booze 16 months, never smoked , i recently had a kidney stone lipotripsy right kidney 2 stones and ive heard that treatment can cause hypertension, i have left big kidney stone but it may be ok to leave well alone if its not in a bad position within my kidney..
Why does it cause me to have hot flashes and cold sweats?
Awesome video! 👍 Could you please do a video on Telmisartan and Olmesartan...? Thank you.
Hi Dr. this is Mr. Alejandro Báez.I have heart operation to Meadow valves in. I take warfarin 7.5 mg. I take other medication losartan warfarin allopurinol colchicine metoprolol.Want to know what do you think of these medication’s I wait for your answer thank you so much.
There has been 4 recalls of Losartan.
Im 80 and on losartan, but my uric acid has been terrible. Meat and fish make it worst. My iron has been low for over a year. less than a 100 Last year I cut in half and stated taking a 1000 meg Taurine also because I have no engery.Hard t know what to do.
anyone notice the theme song sounds a lot like Iron Maiden?
Hear the Rhyme of the Ancient Losartan...
Sallt is not the problem. Sugar, process food and seed oils, vegetable oil are the biggest factor.
Thanks Doc appreciate ur very simple thorough explanation of Losartan, I was taking Valsartan for about 3yrs,n have some water retention so now I’ve been taking Losartan 100/25hctz for 3months n didn’t make much difference it does lower my bp,I’m concern w high potassium but my dr seem not to do any advice or suggestions much appreciate God bless n ThankU again 👍
Where have you been, Dr. Landau?
Where has he been? I hope he is okay.
Interesting that you can talk about diabetes, eating healthy and life style changes without even mentioning the "sugar", the elephant in the room!
I had an afib from enlarged atria top of my heart, after blood thinners and change of diet and exercise Im on 100mgs of Losartan potassium once a day and metrolopol tartrate 50 mgs 2x a day. I didnt hear you mention combination that I take. What’s your opinion Doc, makes me pee alot and sweat alot when working. It runs in my family just about every family member is hypertensive and overweight we all weight 225-275lbs. Im at 255lbs from 302 lbs a few years ago.

Gave me a bad back ache every morning and sore throat
it gave me a terrible stabbing earache and sore throat . I would rather have high blood pressure , than that !
Horrible to hear. Medications are nothing but poison that doctors feed you with just so that they can keep making money off you by making you visit them.
Thxs legend. Rip
My doctor has me on 100mg of Atenolol and 50 mg of Lasartan is that ok ?
Thanks Dr. I have been taking that losartan for a few years. I don't really like it.But my Dr. Wants me to take it.
So nice of you
Thank you very much for posting this video. Very informative and you have an excellent method to educate people. I was just stared today with this medication 50mg in the morning and Bystolic 10mg at bed time. I’ve bn taking bystolic for two years but lately my numbers are 150/105. The combination of these drugs is supposed to help me reduce my numbers. Would you post a video about this? Or would you respond to this post with your opinion. Thanks, keep up the good work!
Great video. Informative and interesting.
I’m on 25 mg of Losartan, and the back pain side affect is awful.
Hello...did you retire? Quit UTube?
Anyway, thank you for sharing your knowledge. It was appreciated. Best.
The cure is the Keto diet. See Dr. Ken Berry on the UA-cam. I did. I had hypertension, was Type 2 diabetic, and took these pills unnecessarily for most of my adult life. As it turns out, the cause of this health epidemic afflicting millions of Americans is the American Diet. I could not drop the weight and heal until I changed my diet. None of my civilian or VA doctors told me about the Keto diet. I had one Doctor tell me there was really no easy or healthy way to loose the weight. Chances are, your Doctor, like this guy, is not giving you the cure. They are good at explaining the meds, but will not tell you THE CURE. Why? Type 2 can be reversed (mine did) and Type 1 can be treated, but not cured to my knowledge.
Since covid attaches to ACE receptors, does taking Losartan increase or decrease my risk from covid? Thank you!
@Robert Branch Thank you. Please keep me posted. Lots of people take Losartan.
My bp is 130/85. That's not bad, but I had a stroke. Should I take the losartan?
What ethnicity are you? This matters as there are metabolic differences
Very good information doctor. I am 44 i am using losatran is it ok to my bp and my healthy in future?
This drug gave me urine retention. I ended up in the ER to be catheterized for a week of hell. just say no to losartan.
How many mg were you on, and for how long?
Can I take spironolactone/aldactone with losartan?
Definitely
Here Myanmar
Lsar 25 and Losar 50 most usef
I take a low dose, love it!!
What about lisinopril?
lisinopril video aired Jan 25, 2017...do a search
I was taking losartan 50/12.5 hctz and ended up getting low potassium. Switched me to 50 mg losartan and normalized potassium. But I exercise/weightlift 5 days a weeks and my job after about 8 hrs Ive walked around 4 miles. Do I still need to avoid banannas or can I eat one or 2 a day? Do I avoid potassium foods or do I just eat half the daily recommended dosage?
regular blood tests show Potassium,Sodium etc levels in your body...
Comments at the 1:50 mark. The industry needs to give more details as to why. I know why and it seems they don't want to address it.
Just got off the shit today found new doctor
What did the new dr. put you on, and how are you doing?
@@SuperMelodic I know the feeling. A diuretic almost killed me. Had to do an emergency enema with the shower hose!
SMART. IT WAS MAKING. MY THROAT. CLOSE AND TIGHT. AND VALSARTAN. AINT NO BETTER.
I been taking it for almost 2 years I been having the worst anxiety and I can’t clear my throat ever since I’m going crazy I can’t take it anymore!! Anyone’s has the same syntoms!! I don’t know what to do😂
Did anyone feel like your head was compressed, full of pressure, like in an airplane ✈️. Felt like ear infections because ears so stuffy you can’t hear; very bad migraines with neck tension; light sensitivity; worse when you stand and sit upright. Please do share if you’ve had similar symptoms.
Why does losartan raise my blood pressure😢
Doc, what do you think of the Losartan recall?
I am taking Losartan and I think I should stop because of the recall, but I don't know what to do.
@@jamesmc1016 don't stop taking it, it was only certain batches that were recalled. Speak with your physician to change it to another medication if you are worried.
Have fruits and vegetables. That's a religious belief
Been taking Losartan for 4+ years and the worse part of it is the VERTIGO i have got as a side effect ! Terrible as it rules your life, Looking to try something similar without the Dizziness ? Works for some but not for all,
I believe all Med Has Side affect Mine is Burning feet and headache .
Same here
Lorsartan got me super depressed. Has anyone felt this with losartan? Today the doctor switched me to amlodipine. I'm scared with the switching from one medication to another, my body is going to get so screwed up that nothing is going to work.
@The Abby Brooke I'm so sorry to hear you were in the hospital. I hope you're feeling better. To answer your question, yes ,that's what he gave me but I'm so sensitive to medications, its crazy. Sometimes I think my doctor thinks I'm making it up. Losartan has made me so depressed I'm crying all the time like if someone died. I had other ones that made my head hurt so bad I couldn't function at all. I didn't even get out of bed for days.
I saw the video on amlodipine, however , he said something interesting about how the meds don't work on a moderate level of hypertension or hypertension 1. And I believe that I'm just catching the side affects with no result to controlling my blood pressure.
Same here. God bless. You aren't alone!
It gave me a terrible stabbing earache and sore throat so I stopped taking it ! the doctor would not admit that was the cause ! all some doctors care about is money and making you come back as often as possible !
Doctor said before it knocks you off,,,,,lol

@@myongshiro6613 That's fine
taking blood pressure after sitting for an hour will not give accurate information for POTS patients
I wish my husband gave a crap about his health. Causing me such anxiety. 😩😢😭
Oh look. A real physician who isnt some wannabe quack
Rip dr
Anyone lose weight on this? I’ve been on it for a short time.
Actually gained Todd 6’3 225 now 260.
Magnesium and Potassium tablets can help your B.P. Spinach and ripe Bananas can help you.
@La Gloria Es De Dios Yes it did, it worked for me after a week and I started cutting back the amount of salt, for example if I am cooking savoury chicken or chilli beef I would always serve these dishes with Rice, to help my BP I would leave out salt completely from the rice. You get use to not having salt in some foods.I think there's enough salt in the Chicken or Beef dishes to compensate the bland salt less taste of the rice.
Disagree about Atenolol.. Great beta blocker.
Salt does not cause high blood pressure ...idiot...
