Hi,
Thanks for writing in to us.

Losartan is used in treatment of high blood pressure and has a time to peak of 1 hour and the active metabolite level reaches a peak in 3 to 4 hours. Therefore it is working for you since the day you started taking this medicine.

Please follow up with your doctor and have your clinical symptoms and medicines reviewed.

Hope your query is answered.
