Should I take losartan potassium 25 mg at night or in the mornings? It makes me very sleepy and my doctor didn't specify but my pharmacist said to take it in the morning.

Yes, it is usually taken in the morning, so it can help control your blood pressure and heart rate, during the times of day where you will be most active and may experience the most fluctuations, according to the FDA.

How long have you been taking it? Most side effects are transient and will go away, once your body gets used to a medication, but that could take 4 to 5 weeks. Other side effects are listed as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, and increased urination.
