Can You Crush And Take Losartan 50mg?

Updated

I 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?
