Dave94501...Ok. Let's see if I do understand you know.. Losartan100 +the diuretic works better than Losartan 50 +LCTZ.. So, you're splitting the 100mg tab with diuretic...taking 1/2 say in the morning, then 1/2 later in the day??? That's still taking 100 mg. in total. I used to take 50mg Atenolol in halfs...25mg in the am, 25 mg later in the day. I went back to my previous Dr. & he was perplexed at that. I asked about taking the full 50mg at once, & I was advised it was ok. The Pharmacist said the same thing., in fact I was told.."that med is meant to be taken 1x day". I think what's happening with your case is that splitting the medication is stopping the bp spikes.In Will's case, perhaps the 100mg Losartan isn't helping him at all without a diuretic. Sometimes a med doesn't work for someone., but increasing the dosage either works, or simply increases side effects.
