How To Withdraw From Losartan?
Have had an unknown tooth infection for a very long time which ended with a huge abscess. My blood pressure during this time got very high. Have been taking 100mg losartan during this time. Tooth out now and blood pressure perfect. Can I stop losartan now?

Hello,
No that is blood pressure medicine, and it is not to treat the blood pressure but to prevent the further damage to heart, kidney, and brain.
So tell your doctor to decrease a dose or stop prescribing this medicine. You have to consult a cardiologist.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
