Hello there I have read through your question and would like to tell you that it is not advisable to stop an antihypertensive abruptly as blood pressure may shoot up and cause serious health problems. If you are experiencing side-effects with Losartan you should consult your physician to put you on an alternative anti hypertensive. I hope that answers your question. If you have any further questions please feel free to write. Thank you for choosing healthcare magic.
