Hi welcome to the health care magic

You are having border line hypertension...

You have forgotten to take Losartan since two days....

So don't change the drug for temporary period..

Within one to two day when you reach home start course again with same dose...

Meanwhile if dizziness or any unusual symptom occurs consult doc immediately for examination

Take care

Hope this will help you
