Brief Answer:
Kindly refer to the information below

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
After going to the medical query, I can understand your concern and I would like to tell you that losartan is a potent antihypertensive drug and is generally a good choice to start with. However, it is crucial to monitor your BP for the initial few days to understand the effect of drug in your specific case as every medicine behaves differently in every patient.

So, I would like to suggest you to monitor your blood pressure for the next 10 days, twice a day and chart it on a piece of paper for both morning and evening readings.

Thanks, and regards
