What Causes Excessive Sweating While On Losartan For High BP?
I am taking losartan for high blood pressure - I looked on line and the information I received was that excessive sweating was one of the side effects. Is this correct? and if so what can I do to alleviate the problem? My email address is YYYY@YYYY ... Thank you....

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I passed carefully through your question and would explain that this is a rare adverse effect of Losartan.
Anyway, if these complaints started after starting Losartan, it could be considered an adverse effect of this drug.
Coming to this point, I would recommend switching to another anti-hypertensive drug like an ACEI (berlipril, ramipril) or a calcium channel blocker (amlodipine, lecarnidipine, etc.).
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Wishing good health,
Dr. Iliri
