Hello,
Yes, Losartan drug is effective over the Lisinopril drug, as per the latest AHA guidelines.
If such a patient comes to me in my clinic, I would suggest him to see their primary consult, as both the tablets are prescription based, so better I suggest you to meet your primary doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Mohammed Abdullah
