I'm wondering if it's safe to use the old cough syrup and pain relief syrup for my toddler that we opened and used a bit of about 6 months ago. Should I be worried about its effectiveness or safety now?

Losartan (Losar 50) is typically taken once daily.

Recommended Dosage Timing

1. Morning: Take Losar 50 in the morning, with or without food, to help control blood pressure throughout the day.

Why Morning?

1. Blood pressure control: Morning dosing helps maintain blood pressure control during the day.
2. Reduced nighttime effects: Taking Losar 50 in the morning may minimize potential nighttime side effects, such as dizziness or lightheadedness.

Previous Medication (Amlodipine 5)

1. Stopping medication abruptly: Suddenly stopping Amlodipine 5 without consulting a doctor may lead to rebound hypertension.
2. Consult a doctor: Before stopping or changing any medication, consult a doctor to ensure safe and effective blood pressure management.

Please Note

1. Monitor blood pressure regularly: Regularly check your mother's blood pressure to ensure the medication is effective.
