What Are The Alternatives Of Losartan While Suffering From High BP?
I have high blood pressure and diabetes type 2 which is in control. I also have kidney disease stage 3 A. I have been taking Valsartan 160mg one time daily. Just was told there has been a recall on it and my doctor wants me to take Losartan. I took Losartan last year and it made my back ache and my legs cramp and feel weak. What are my options?
