What Is The Suggested Dosage Of Losartin?
I am taking losartin but I am lightheaded and get dizzy for a spell when I lie down. I ve bee gettin occasional readings of 100s/70s. Can I cut the dose in half for a few days until I can call mt physician since it is a holiday weekend? What is the safest way to reduce the dose?

Hi,
Based on the history you seem to have developed hypotension (low blood pressure) apparently due to a slight high dose of losartan.
You can take half the prescribed dose at bed time to prevent postural hypotension till you consult your physician.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali
