My husband who is 54 yrs. old ran out of his losartan potassium 25mg. His doctor retired last August so his prescription ran out on Sunday. I ve found a new physician for him but he hasn t seen her yet. Any big problems with not taking the medicine anymore...he doesn t seem concerned, but I am. Thank you!
