What Is The Lethal Dosage Of Losartan?
Brief Answer:
It cannot be used for this purpose
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using healthcaremagic.
The lethal dose of losartan in humans is 500 to 1000 mg per kg.
So for a 60 kg average man the required dose is 60 X 500 mg= 30000 mg.
If some body asks for 50 mg tablets, then at least 6000 tablets will be required which cannot be in stomach for same time.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
If not, you may close the discussion and if possible you may rate the answer for me, so that I get a good feedback.
