Is It Fine To Take Half Losartan Potassium Tablet?
I have received a prescription for losartan potassium (generic) 50mg for hypertension. I had an allergic reaction to lisinopryl and had extreme fatigue on beta blockers, HCTZ, and calcium channel blockers. I am concerned in taking the full dose at one time and would like to split the pill in half at least on the first dose to see how I react. I had a horrible reaction to the lisinopryl on 2.5 mg. Is it okay to cut the losartan potassium pill in half?

Hi,
For the first dose you can divide the tablet unless your blood pressure is too high.
Take care
