Hi and thank you so much for this query.

Hiccups are not a well recognied side effect of losartan. Dry cough may be a possibility and not hiccup. If the onset of this cough coincides with the introduction of this medication, then there may be a logical argument in support of this. If your doctor feels strongly about this being caused by losartan, there are several medications for high blood out there that he can just get you off this medications and switch you to one of them.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be. Thank you so much for using our services, we very much appreciate this.
