Is It Safe To Have Losartan And Strattera Together?

I have a student with Aortic Root Dilation and ADHD. He is on Losartan 25 mg. and Strattera 80 mg daily. Is there any health risks by taking the 2 meds together daily? Also, does AOD with ADHD affect bowel & bladder frequency? (It could be Strattea needs increased to allow more classroom focus instead of bathroom breaks every 20 minutes) Also, how much exercise is too much? Should the 10 year old student be allowed to run, climb up the slide, kick balls etc. during recess as the other kids do? What is considered high blood pressure with ARD?

hi
dose of losartan is fine for ARD
BUT the combination with atomoxitine(strattea) is really to be evaluated.
it should not be taken in patients with cardiac problems.
high blood pressure is common with ARD .
some of the exercises which cause exertion should be avoided, sudden massacres can happen
please meet your cardiologist & have an evaluation done
all the best
take care
