Thank you for asking on HCM
Short answer: No.
Detailed answer: Next time, if you forget to take Losartan or Amlodipine, take the missed dose as soon as you remember.
Skip the missed dose if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose.
Do not take extra medicine to make up the missed dose, because that may lower your blood pressure below the normal ranges and cause hypotension.
