7Losartan for Pregnant and Breastfeeding Women
Pregnant women should avoid losartan. This is because the medication would lower the level of fluid around the fetus, especially when people take it around the 2nd and 3rd trimesters. It would lead to long-term damage to the lungs and kidneys of the babies. For this reason, stop taking losartan if you are pregnant and talk with your doctor immediately. They may prescribe another drug to ensure safety during pregnancy. Breastfeeding may take losartan when they breastfeed. However, it is advisable to avoid the drug if the babies were born prematurely. It is still not clear how much losartan may pass into breast milk. Therefore, it is better to be cautious. [10]
