Suggest Treatment For Stomach Aches And Diarrhea After Taking Losartan

can occur in 1 to 10% of persons using this medication
Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The most common cause of acute abdominal pain and diarrhea is an infection but it can occur with losartan as well.
Abdominal pain and diarrhea can occur in 1 to 10 % of persons who use losartan (1 to 10 out of 100).
Since the symptoms started just after taking the losartan then you can consider to see if the symptoms stop but you should inform your doctor.
Losartan is used for blood pressure control, it is also used in persons with heart failure, history of a heart attack or as kidney protection in diabetics.
If is stopped, it would need to be replaced.
If the symptoms are due to losartan then they should decrease within 24 to 48 hours of stopping the medication.
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
