I Am Taking Losartan 50mg In The Morning And Nifedipine
Question: I am taking Losartan 50mg in the morning and Nifedipine XL 30mg at bed time from 35 days but last night I skip the Nifedipine and I would like to know if I can take it this morning with Losartan.
I cannot wait 24Hours to know if I can take right now the skipped dose of Nifedipine at the same time of Losartan this morning.
Brief Answer:
Not advisable to couple them
Detailed Answer:
Hello Sir
After going through the medical details provided by you I can understand your concern for your health and I would like to tell you that NO its not advisable to take both the medications together.
The reason being they are both antihypertensives and can cause a significant fall in blood pressure which can be problematic.
So just skip the last night dose and continue with your daily routine of taking Losartan only in the morning.
I hope this information will answer your query.
Kind Regards
