What Is The Lethal Dosage Of Losartan?
Brief Answer:
Maximum prescribed dose is 100 mg per day
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX,
I have read through your query in detail.
Losartan is an angiotensin II receptor antagonists given for high blood pressure and associated conditions. It prevents the narrowing of blood vessels and maintains normal blood pressure. The initial dose is 50 mg per day and maximum prescribed dose is 100 mg in 1 or 2 divided doses each day. Any dosage more than 100 mg per day is not recommended and can cause undesirable side effects.
Lethal dosage that can kill a person varies depending on various variables. But as I said dosage beyond 100 mg a day can cause undesirable side effects which can be a major concern.
Hope this answers your question. Please feel free to correct any oversight in my interpretation of your problems and discuss them in detail as per your requirements.
Hope your query is answered.
Do write back if you have any doubts.
Regards,
Dr.Vivek
