The usual starting dose of Losanorm for hypertension is 25mg once daily. The maximum recommended dose is 100mg once daily. High doses of Losanorm may be required for severe cases of hypertension or if lower doses are not effective in controlling blood pressure. However, the specific conditions for high doses of Losanorm should be determined by your healthcare provider based on your individual medical history and response to the medication.
