Can Losartan Be Discontinued To Avoid Its Side Effect Of High BP?

I have been taken Losartan Potassium 50mil for about a year and I have had every side affect that anyone can have and my blood pressure is still the same. The doctor I go to thinks everything is OK. I want to stop taking this stuff before it kills me. How do I get off of it.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

It's not difficult to do not take Losartan anymore,but you have to exchange it with other drugs,that can take control of your blood pressure and you feel more comfortable. I suggest you to talk to a doctor that you do not feel good with Losartan and want to know for another alternative med.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
