Can I take Esomeprazole and Losartan together?

Why this happens

Esomeprazole (a stomach acid reducer) and losartan (a blood pressure medication) are processed by different pathways in the body. Esomeprazole does not significantly interfere with how the liver breaks down losartan, nor does it affect how the kidneys remove it from your system. Furthermore, the reduction in stomach acid caused by esomeprazole does not change how well losartan is absorbed into the bloodstream.

What you should do

You can continue to take both medications as prescribed by your doctor. You do not need to change the timing of your doses or take any special precautions. As always, if you notice any new or unusual symptoms, or if your blood pressure readings change significantly, consult your healthcare professional.
