Hi. are there certain foods to avoid while taking losartan potasssium 100mg? thankyou.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes and no: Losartan is a blood pressure medicine that can have the side effect of hyperkalemia (too much potassium). So if you have problems with your potassium being to high, then you should eat a diet that is low in potassium. But I see that you are also taking hydrochlorothiazide which can cause you to have low potassium. Have your labs checked regularly and adjust your potassiium intake as needed

Hi doctors. I take Metoprolol ER, Plavix, 81 mg aspirin, & Losartan each daily. Does it matter in which order I take them? Should I take them all at the same time? Should I take them in the morning or at night, with or without food or does it matter?
