Dear Patient,

Im sorry to hear this. Sometimes a few years later BP medicines are not as effective and a medicine needs to be added or the current ones changed. What dose of losartan were you taking? How many mg(s)? How often is your bp 170/110? Can you share a morning and afternoon chart of bp for 7 consecutive days? Is it possible for you to visit a cardiologist near you?
We would prefer if yiu can take this chart and meet a cardiologist so that he can prescribe you treatment after assessing himself. Please do a lipid profile and take reports with you.
For further help, we recommend checking with one of the
best cardiologists in Lahore and seek a piece of in-person advice at https://oladoc.com/pakistan/lahore/cardiologist
