I am hoping there are some patients out there who are on Cozaar and could help me with side effects issues. I take 50mgs. per day and would like to know if anyone has experienced leg cramps, sore knees and occasional wheezing.

Hi Barbara, I've been on cozaar for a couple of years (do not remember exactly). I do feel sore knees and sore joints, but I am 40 now, so it could be from other reasons. Other than that, the medicine seems OK.

my daughter (13 years old) was prescribed coozar 25mg by a cardiologist for a hypertension that they could not identify the cause. What i want to know is that, is there anybody out there that knows if its safe for children. My daughter is on the taller side but she is still considered a pediatric patient and what i found on my search says that safety and efficacy of this drug in children has not been studied. I want to make sure its safe before i give it to her.

Sheila,
My daughter is also 13 and she has an aortic insufficiency with regergitation. She has been taking Lisinopril but has had some side effects involving a dry tickling cough and sore throuat so now her cardiologist would like to switch her to this cozaar @ 25 mg's. Did you ever start her on this drug and if so how has it been going? I am very apprehensive about switching to a drug not tested on children also. Thanks- Debbie

I'm 75 years old and have been taking Cozaar for
17 months. The Cozaar shrunk my aneurysm of the ascending aorta by 8%, from 4.9 cm. to 4.5 cm. I have knee pain relieved by tylenol, naprosyn or
biofreeze. Leg cramps are prevented by quinine water. Given the choice of open heart surgery or a
little knee pain, I'll opt for the Cozaar.
