Losartan Equivalent Atenolol Dose (Top voted first)

Updated

Have taken Atenolol 50 mg. for years then developed nasty cronic cough...Dr. switched me to Losartan 25 mg, is this equivalent? Experiencing sweats today and wondered if this was a lower dose then what I was taking and it is impossible to find comparsion of strength of these medications. Please advise and thank you!

Hello, Bradly! How are you?

Yes, since they are different medications, you can't really compare the dosages.

However, the sweats are likely caused by stopping the other medication and starting the new one, just your body's reaction.

But have you checked with your doctor to be sure?

Have checked but not satisfied yet, all I want to know is Atenolol 50mg equivalent to Losartan 25mg? Another words if you were switching a patient from one to another would it be at this ratio for that patient? Aware they are very different medications both for blood pressure but hope a Dr. knows when switching a patient what the comparable strength would be. Researched & found when one is changed from Atenolol it should be slowly over 14 days, my Dr. was unaware of this and over the weekend had a very bad time of it, went back to half dose and now taking it slowly and changing my Dr., not completely for this reason but wanted one closer to home as I will have to be closely monitored...had recent hip-replacement so have to be careful with everything! Thanks for this wonderful service as I have greatly learned so much scanning through all your amazing posts! Happy New Year!
