MajorLisinopril + Losartan

Can you take Lisinopril and Losartan together?

This page explains what happens if Lisinopril and Losartan are taken together, according to official sources.

What happens

Dual RAAS blockade: hyperkalemia, syncope, and renal damage

Dual blockade of the renin-angiotensin system provides no clinical benefit while exponentially increasing risks of hyperkalemia, severe hypotension, and acute kidney failure.

Recommended management

Dual therapy is strongly advised against by international clinical guidelines. Choose a single RAAS inhibitor and monitor potassium.

Talk to your doctor or pharmacist about these two medicines; don't stop a prescribed medicine on your own.
