How Long Does It Take To Become Effective?

I started taking Losartan/HCTZ 50/12.5 4 days ago, but my blood pressure has not gone down yet . Do you have to take this medication for awhile before it becomes effective?

Hello, Richard! How are you?

Yes, it takes about 4 to 5 weeks for this medication to reach its full level of effectiveness in your body to see how well it work for you.

The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination and dehydration.

Is there anything else I can help with?
