Question 1

i have read different things about taking bystolic (nebivolol) & losartan together causing potassium issues should i be concerned? my kidney function is great!!

Accepted Answer

B.P. medications: Bystolic (nebivolol) typically doesn't cause a change in potassium level. Losartan  may cause an elevation in potassium levels on RARE occasions. If the Losartan is combined with hydrochlorthiazied ( a common diuretic), then there is the possibility of a low potassium level.

Question 2

taking losartan 50 & bystolic (nebivolol) 5 goin to vegas & wud like to have  a couple of drinks would this be ok?

Accepted Answer

Not recommended: Both losartan and bystolic (nebivolol) may have an additive effect of lowering blood pressure when combined with alcohol.  One might experience headache, lightheadedness, changes in heart rate, or fainting with this combination.  For this reason, it I can be recommended to abstain from alcohol while on these medications.

Question 3

i take losartan & bystolic (nebivolol)...should they be taken together or should i take 1 morning & 1 evening? dr. didn't specify.

Accepted Answer

Most : will say it doesn't matter intend to tell patients to take one BP pill at night to avoid morning surges. In your cause I would rec'd taking losartan at night.

Question 4

very nervous on propranolol er 60 dr put me back on bystolic (nebivolol) 5 mg is it as affective on bp as propranolol i also take losartan 50.

Accepted Answer

Both meds control BP: All medication doses must be individualized to the needs of the patient. Although these medications have similar mechanism of action, at comparable doses, the change in blood pressure will vary. The doctor will follow your BP and adjust the medication as needed.

Question 5

if doctor didn't specify & i'm taking losartan & bystolic (nebivolol) is it ok to be taken together or should i take 1 morning & 1 evening & which one? so confuse

Accepted Answer

Hypertensive meds: Some patients prefer to take medications like bystolic (nebivolol) in the evening as they feel more fatigued when they take it in the morning. Losartan often has to be taken twice a day to be fully effective as its efficacy may only last 12 hours. If your blood pressure tends to be highest during the afternoon,I recommend taking it in the morning if you're only on one dose a day. Your physician can advise you

Question 6

is it safe to take supplements like garlic, coq 10, & liver detox supplements while taking losartan, bystolic, (nebivolol) & metformin?

Accepted Answer

Caution: I like to typically air on the side of caution when it comes to supplements because a lot of them do interact with many medications. I would take your supplements to your doctor and go over them separately to determine if they are safe.

Question 7

is there a differencenc between lostartan vs losartan potassium?

Accepted Answer

No difference: They are the same drug.

Question 8

should i avoid high potassium foods on losartan?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Losartan can raise blood levels of potassium and therefore avoiding high dietary potassium intake would be advisable especially if there is any underlying kidney disease. Labs are usually done to evaluate potassium and kidney function.

Question 9

can losartan potassium 25 mg lower your cholesterol?

Accepted Answer

Not likely though it: can have indirect effect on renal function and the HPA axis which could then affect metabolism of fats.  Losartan is typically prescribed for hypertension and renal protection effect long term.  Thanks for trusting in HealthTap.
