Does Losartan Have A Sulfa Component In It?
I recently became allergic to sulfa antibiotics. I also switched BP meds from lisinipril (due to a nagging cough) to Losartin. Three months later, I had a case of hives but thought it was from a Z-pak med i had taken ten days prior. Now three weeks later, I just had another case of hives tonight. Could the hives be an allergic reaction to the Losartin? Does Losartin have a sulfa component to it?
