I am a type 2 diabetic well controlled and no longer on insulin.I have been taking valsartin and since that is no longer available, my blood pressure is higher from 120/60 to 157/70. My dr. says losartin is \"good medicine\" but with the increased blood pressure, I doubt it very much. What is a good alternate?
Hi, I passed carefully through your question and would explain that Losartan is similar to Alsatian for controlling blood pressure values. They belong to the same class of Chat Doctor.  Anyway, Alsatian is more effective compared to losartan for high blood pressure.  If you have chronic kidney disease, I would suggest switching from Alsatian to a calcium channel blocker (Amlodipine or Lercanidipine).  You should discuss with your doctor on the above options.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
