What really happens to your body when you take LOSARTAN
- ACE Inhibitors: Combining Losartan with ACE inhibitors (like enalapril) is generally not recommended due to an increased risk of side effects, including high potassium and low blood pressure.
- Other Blood Pressure Medications: While often combined intentionally, always discuss combinations with your doctor.
Herbal Interactions: Some herbs can also interact with Losartan:
- St. John’s Wort: May decrease Losartan’s effectiveness.
- Licorice: Especially in concentrated forms, can raise blood pressure and reduce Losartan’s effectiveness.
- Garlic: In large amounts, might enhance Losartan’s blood pressure-lowering effect.
- Ginkgo Biloba: Evidence is mixed, but it might affect blood pressure control.
