Diabetologist,  's  Response
the losartan you started taking is a safe drug. but as you started taking it too late after prescribing.as you increased the dose from 50mg to 75 mg on your own assuming BP as increased is not advisable. SINCE YOU STARTED IT SICE 2 WEEKS YOU NEED TO WAIT FOR THE REDUCTION IN BP..AND YOU NEED TO DECREASE TH SALT CONTENT IN YOUR FOOD AND DO EXERCISE FOR 45 MIN DAILY.COME BACK TO 50 MG AND RECHECK THE BP AFTER 2 WEEKS .
