It cannot be used for this purpose

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using healthcaremagic.

The lethal dose of losartan in humans is 500 to 1000 mg per kg.

So for a 60 kg average man the required dose is 60 X 500 mg= 30000 mg.

If some body asks for 50 mg tablets, then at least 6000 tablets will be required which cannot be in stomach for same time.

Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
