Hi, here's my question. I experienced hair loss as side effect from taking Lisinopril 20mg first and then Candesartan 16mg. Does this mean that I will have the same side effect with any other ACE inhibitor or ARB?

    Dave, not necessarily.  I experienced hair loss whilst on a couple of BP meds (sorry can’t remember which as I’ve been tried on so many!) but don’t experience the problem on Losartan Potassium.
