Follow directions: Always follow your doctor's instructions carefully. Of course, you may ask your doctor to explain any part you do not understand.

Why pharmacist: I am not sure why a pharmacist is giving this type of advice, which should be between you and your physician. Secondly, given your current BP, it's not accurate. Thirdly, you should discuss with your doctor doubling your losartan to twice a day (the appropriate interval) rather than starting to add an additional medication. Imdur is safe for kidneys.
