Losartan can be administered once or twice daily at total daily doses of 25 to 100 mg. If the antihypertensive effect measured at trough using once-aday dosing is inadequate, a twice-a-day regimen at the same total daily dose or an increase in dose may give a more satisfactory response.
DOSING: The starting dose of losartan for adults is 25-50 mg daily. The maximum dose is 100 mg daily. The total daily dose may be divided and administered two doses daily. Losartan may be given with or without food. The starting dose of losartan for pediatric patients 6 years of age or older is 0.7 mg/kg up to 50 mg once daily. Doses more than 1.4 mg/kg or 100 mg daily have not been evaluated in pediatric patients.
