Is Losartan 100 Mg Effective In The Treatment Of Hypertension?

Okay, is Losartan 100 mg a really high dosage to help with blood pressure? I just don t want to have to stay on this high of a dosage for the rest of my life. I just got the prescription today. I also have been taking 2-3 Aleve a day and I have heard that makes BP higher too? Thanks

Kindly check your BP regularly and also you can be advised to take combination of Medications where your dose can be tapered with prevention of side effects. Just need to understand your lifestyle, if you are smoker and alcoholic kindly avoid it, also avoid eating Non-vegetarian and oily food stuff.
