Losartan works well especially in patients who have side affects from Lisinipril. I didn’t know about thise side value. Thanks.

As many as 45% of ACE-I users have side effects, but they think it’s manageable or just old age.

One is blood pooling around the lower legs.

After some research I did, I couldn’t point to one good reason to stay with an ACE-I over an ARB aside from familiarity or minimal cost difference.

Telmisartan is available as a generic and does really well for people, with fewer side effects than ACE-Inhibitors.
