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.
This is important. Losartan, taken once daily, does not last the full 24 hours at lower doses like 25 or 50 mg. At 100 mg daily losartan does last the full 24 hours. Telmisartan (generic Micardis) and valsartan do provide 24 hour coverage with once daily dosing but are more expensive than Losartan.
