Losartan is anti hypertensive so if given will reduce the bp which can be risky in person with normal bp.

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.

But what about nebicard which is also betablocker?

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.

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.

you should use losartan if you have Marfans as it also strengthens the aorta. People who do not have Marfans can treat their high BP with any drug.
