Hello, Thanks for the query.
Losartan is used to treat high blood pressure. It is possible that doctor must have prescribed it for controlling the high BP. Since there is no mention of any BP readings, it is difficult for me to know exactly. Thanks.

They are most useful in first 3 months, after that the benefit is meagre. You can ask your Dr. about a milder medicine like ecosprin AV.

Asked for male, 59 years old from Meerut

Firstly thanks for your valuable advise. To continue with amlozaar- h for high bp. My little quarry is this medicine has a combination of 3 salts major 50 mg is losartan. Where telmikind-amh also 3 salt.in place of losartan there is telmisartan rest is same. So should I continue with losartan or switch to telmisartan. To control high bp.

Hello Mr. lybrate-user. You can take either losartan or telmisartan as both belong to same category of drugs but try to adhere to one drug instead of frequently changing it.

Metformin 500 mg and glymperide 1 mg per day for sugar and losartan 50 mg for pressure. My question is I have been taking losartan first. Shifted to amlodipine 5 mg for some time and now having losartan 50 mg again. Can we keep shifting risk free or their is risk to do it? Which should I take?

you can be shifted from one to the otherif BP is staying out of range. Usually BP should be checked once every month on fixed dates after resting for ten minutes. Medicine should be changed after 3 month trial and only if it is not achieving desired BP
amlodipine is slow strong effect. Losartan quicker but milder.
