Hello
LOsartan is an ANGIOTENSIN II ANTAGONISTS and its first dose may cause hypotension .
Now your blood pressure is well maintained (113 /75 mm of Hg ) and observe this for 5-10 days and if your blood pressure remained around this reading ( 120 /80 mm of Hg ) , you can stop losartan at once .
Exercises regularly and eat healthy ( salt 7 fat free diet).
Good luck.
