Different: They're completely different drugs from different classes with different side effects. Don't try this at home alone. Do it under the specific of your doctor. If you don't trust him/her, change. (the problem is bigger than just this medicine change).

Good evening doctors. Blood pressure question. I take 100 mg of Metoprolol ER taken in am and 100 mg Losartan daily taken in pm. My BP was 180/80. A new Dr wants to change Losartan to Losartan Plus diuretic. How would I know if this change is good?
