Hello,

The constellation of symptoms of headache, acidity and vomiting, confusion are all related to side effect of Losartan hydrochlorthiazide tablet and the same must be discontinued at present. Inform doc office for the same for further guidelines. Till that time, intake of omeprazole with domperidone on empty stomach can help to relieve some of the agony of GI tract.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
