Common effects of Teva-Losartan/HCTZ 100 MG tablets may include dizziness, fatigue, and mild nausea. Some users might experience headaches or muscle cramps. These effects are generally mild and temporary, but if they persist or worsen, it is important to consult a healthcare provider.

Alcohol can also affect blood pressure and should be consumed with caution. Always inform your healthcare provider about all medications and supplements you are taking.
