Is Drinking Wine Safe While Taking Losartan 100mg For High Blood Pressure?

I was put on Losartin 100mg for high blood pressure, prior to that I would drink a glass and half of wine several times during the week but since being on the medication I have discontinued having wine due to not being sure if this will have an adverse affect. Is it safe to drink wine with Losartin?

Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Generally it is safe but only if this is taken in moderate amounts. It means not more than a glass daily, or half a wine weekly. ALcohol in optimal amounts may also be beneficial for people with high blood pressure but you should not overdo. Also, when you drink wine you should not take it with losartan but at least 2 hours apart. Everything else is less important, just have frequent blood pressure measures and it will be fine.

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing you good health.
