Hello,

Most of the antihypertensive drugs cause fatigue and tiredness. Also, Losartan causes fatigue, tiredness.

Losartan causes also fatigue and tiredness. You can give your body some time to get used to the new change.

If you don't get better you can lower the dosage of Losartan.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
