Accepted Answer

Losartan and fruit: Losartan will reduce the presence of aldosterone in your body just a bit - not majorly; aldosterone is the hormone responsible for potassium elimination by the kidney. If your kidney functions are normal or close to normal, then you have very little reason to be concerned; you may eat fruit that contains potassium; if you have diabetes as well, then potassium retention is a larger concern.
