Hello,
Generally we recommend patients to change Lisinopril with Losartan when Lisinopril is causing cough. You can safely switch from Lisinopril to Losartan but might not be needed if you do not have dry cough due to Lisinopril.
I hope this answers your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
