question: Hey Doctor Mintz I currently take losartan 50mg per day for high blood pressure . My blood pressure usually runs about 145 over 88 while on losartan. I am 58 years old white male. Here is my question: I had a upper repitory infection 2 weeks ago went on a Zpac of anitibiotics for 6 days and it seemed to clear me up for about a week now I am having trouble again and feel as though I am getting another upper respitory event same as before.? Should I suspect Losartan as the problem? I have not had issue before? Should I taper off the 50 mg per day and cut it to 25mg? or go off it slowly all together? THanks John
