Losartan Krka 50mg

My Tablets

Hello I have been on Amplodipine 5mg tablets for 18 months but my ankles kept swelling up. They have changed my tablets to Losartan Krka 50mg which I did not take as I thought they made a mistake by giving me 50mg tabs instead of 5mg. The doctor has now said that it is ok to take 50mg as it is the same as the 5mg tabs just a different make .I am not sure about this can you please confirm this is correct I know live in Cyprus and I know of many mistakes that have been made here.. Thank you Linda ## Hello, Linda! How are you? Sorry about the confusion. Yes, if you were on 5mgs of Amlodipine, you'd need 50mgs of the Losartan to be therapeutically equivalent. The Losartan is in a different class of medications, it's an ARB, while Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker, so they work...
