Can You Crush And Take Losartan 50mg?
UpdatedI have trouble swallowing pills. Can you crush Losartan 50mg and take it, or will it take away from the effects of the pill?

Unless you have been instructed otherwise, this can be done with any regular release medication. I break my Losartan in half to take it twice a day, instead of just once, since it works better for me that way.
The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, and hypotension.
Is there anything else I can help with?
I have just had hernia surgery 8 weeks ago,and now it seems lasartan Potassium 50 mg taken in the whole form is creating gas in my stomach,butvit doesn't seem to effect me when I crush the pill then let it resolve in water before drinking it.My question is will the medication still be effective?
