Brief Answer:
Losartan can cause swelling of the lips!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks so much for this query.

Losartan can cause angioedema, swelling of the lips. If this started soon after staring this spill, please kindly inform your doctor. Depending on the severity, he might want to change the medication to another without a similar side effect profile. You may also upload an image of your lips for review.

I do promise to get back to you with more insights and helpful recommendations as soon as the requested information gets here.
