Losartan is approximately 33% orally bioavailable. 1,3,4 Losartan has a T max of 1 hour and the active metabolite has a T max of 3-4 hours. 1,3,4 Taking losartan with food decreases the C max but does only results in a 10% decrease in the AUC of losartan and its active metabolite. 1,3,4 A mg oral dose of losartan leads to a C max of 200
