A member asked:
I have increased urination since taking losartan. is this common and does it mean my creatine levels are increased? will levels return to normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Losartan acts: indirectly to increase blood flow to the kidneys, increasing kidney efficiency. If you were retaining body fluid, in theory, you may experience a temporary increase in urination as your fluid balance is restored. Creatinine, not creatine, is an indirect measure of kidney function. If your kidney function was normal b4 starting losartin, it shouldn't be affected by your BP med.
