Hello,
Yes, a dose of losartan needs to increase. You should have a high dose in the morning and low dose in the evening. If this fails to control the blood pressure, then we will make the evening as high. Have a low salt diet, regular exercises.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
