Suggest Treatment For Mvp

Have mild/moderate MVP and have been taking Ramipril 2.5mg with adverse effects. Am now trying Losartan Potassium 50mg and am concerned that on the leaflet with the drug comes a warning to tell your doctor (he prescribed) if you have problems with MVP. What does this mean?

There is no clearcut evidence of MVP by Losartan. In some studies mvp was found in patients taking Losartan but it was most probably coincidence. so I think it should not be a matter of worry.
