Hello
I will suggest you some Ayurvedic medicines for help you. While taking these medicines do not stop taking Losartan immediately. Stop it gradually. Keep a watch on your liver enzymes and likewise slowly decrease the dose of losartan.

Take
Yakritplihantak churna – 1 teaspoonful twice daily
Phyllanthus Niruri - 2 twice daily
Echinacea capsules - 2 thrice daily
ALL THESE HERBAL FORMULATIONS CONTAIN HERBS WHICH WORK AT CELLULAR LEVEL TO:-

Cleanse the fats from the liver
Reduce elevated liver enzymes
Improve functioning of liver cells
Reduce elevated

Some Do's and Don'ts

It is caused by too much diet, soft drinks, soda based drinks, squashes, packaged fruit juices, butters, refined sugars and refined flour, the intake of all these things should be curtailed to zero.

The noodles, biscuits, pizzas, pastas, heavy cheesy gravy rich food, heavy non-veg diet, French fries, burgers, fried potatoes are all causative agents to cause fatty liver.

#1 way to get rid of fatty liver is to cut down calories intake from sugary foods.

#2 way to get rid of fatty liver is cut down alcohol intake.

#3 way to get rid of fatty liver is start exercising. The breathing exercises like Pranayama are wonderful. Kapal bhati and bhastrika pranayama are best. If you don't suffer from blood pressure, then agnisaar kriya is the best.

#4 Physical exercises like swimming, rowing, walking, cycling, and sports activities are all excellent to burn excessive calories.
