Losartan is most often prescribed at a dosage of 50 mg for heart failure and arterial hypertension as part of complex therapy. Patients take the tablets once or twice a day (if possible at the same time).
An obvious contraindication to taking the medicine is individual intolerance to the components of the drug. Other restrictions include pregnancy and breastfeeding. Losartan is not the best drug for treating children, so it is rarely used in the treatment of young patients.
