A member asked:
Is valsartan 40mg equal to losartan 50mg or 25mg?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Valsartan 80 mg would be the equivalent of losartan 50, so 40 will correspond to 25, please check with prescriber as well as sometimes the intent is to escalate doses not just to continue with same dose.
