Can I take Losartan and Trazodone together?

Why this happens

Both losartan and trazodone have the effect of lowering blood pressure. Losartan is specifically designed to do this, while trazodone (an antidepressant) can cause low blood pressure as a side effect. When used together, their effects add up.

What you should do

You should monitor your blood pressure regularly at home. Be careful when getting out of bed or standing up; move slowly to give your body time to adjust. If you feel very dizzy, sit or lie down immediately. Inform your doctor if you experience frequent dizziness or fainting, as they may need to adjust your dosages.
