How Long Does Losartan Take To Show Effect?
I was taking lisonopril 10mg for my high bloop pressure, and it wasn t working as well as my doctor would like so he switched me to losartan 50mg and I began that 3 days ago. My bp seems to be up higher than before so just wondering how long it will take my new medication to start working??

Hello and thanks you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein and I will try to help you as much as I can with my answer.
It should work after 3 days and you should consider changing medication again because some people are resistant to losartan. Also, the cause of high BP should be reevaluated if there is no good control over it.
I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
