Losartan Interaction

I take Losartan for high blood pressure. I was also on HRT Femeston. I have stopped taking HRT and now take Dong Quai and Black Kohosh. These are suiting me but as Dong Quai will help with high blood pressure can I stop taking Losartan?

Hello, Sarah! How are you?

It would be best to continue taking it, unless your doctor approves of your stopping it. While the NIH does list that some herbs have been known to help lower blood pressure, most of them did not lower it significantly enough on their own to replace the use of actual proven prescription medications.

However, a good healthy diet, with lots of proper exercise, might enable you to eventually get it under full control naturally, so you can stop taking the medication.

What have your recent blood pressure levels been?
