A member asked:
Are there any generic angiotensin receptor blockers available, that are cheap?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Losartan: Losartan is the only generic angiotensin receptor blocker available at this time. There are however several inexpensive angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors available which generally work as well and would be a good option unless you have side effects such as cough from it.
