Losartain Substitued For Lisonopril

[Pete53]

Yesterday I got my prescription for Losartan a substitute for the Lisonopril I am taking. The instructions for taking on the bottle are completely bogus take one-half tablet by mouth every day for nephropathy. So I looked it up and it is for end stage renal failure and I thought it was to lower my blood pressure.

Oh well if I remember I guess I will ask my Doc in 4 months.

Losartan is geberic for Cozzar. It is also used as a BP medicine. I was on it after lisonipril quit working for me. I had to switch to a higher dose of Lisonipril. (40mg) and add metropolol, norvasc.

I don't think so Chuck. I like my VA Gatekeeper Doc and I feel that she is trying to help me.
