I Am On Holiday A Run Out Of Losartan ,
Question: I am on holiday a run out of Losartan, I am on Amlodipine 5mgs and Bisoprolol 5mgs. Will it be ok for another 5 days without the Losartan
Brief Answer:
Better not to skip.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query.
I have gone through your query and I can understand your concerns.
One or two doses of missed doses of losartan does not cause much problems. However one should not skip losartan for many days.
In your case you are already having significant cardiac issues, moreover your age is also on the higher side so better not to skip the losartan for five more days.
There is chance for rapid shoot op of blood pressure.
Hope I have answered your query.
Thanks
