Does Losartan Cause Weight Gain?
I am changing from Benicar/hct 40-12.5 to Losartan/HCT 100 12.5 because of the recent lawsuit with Benicar. I have suffered digestive issues among other things. I have weight issues, not extreme, but working hard to lose weight. I exercise 5 days a week and eat a healthy diet. I see so many people talking about gaining weight because of the Losartan. Should I be concerned?
