Left untreated, the heart has to work harder, which can lead to damaged arteries, blindness, or even a stroke. Thankfully, a variety of prescriptions are available to lower blood pressure, such as losartan.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although it is an effective blood pressure medication, losartan may interact with certain drugs and substances. Certain drugs may increase the side effects of losartan or reduce how well losartan works.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this post, we\u2019ll discuss the potential interaction between losartan and caffeine. If you\u2019re on or plan to take losartan and love a cup of coffee, there are some things you should know before drinking your next morning brew.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is losartan?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cLosartan is an antihypertensive medication in the angiotensin II receptor blocker class,\u201d explained <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/justkidspeds.com\/our-providers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alex Mach<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, DO, a provider at Just Kids Pediatrics in Oklahoma City. \u201cIt is typically prescribed to patients who have high blood pressure.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/books\/NBK499912\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Angiotensin II<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is formed from the processing of the inactive angiotensin I hormone by angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE). Angiotensin II is an active hormone that binds to angiotensin II receptors, which causes blood vessels to constrict and, in turn, raises a person\u2019s blood pressure. Losartan works by blocking angiotensin II from binding to its receptors therefore allowing the blood vessels to relax and lowering blood pressure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/prescription\/losartan-potassium\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Losartan<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, or losartan potassium, is a generic form of the tablet, but it is also sold under the brand name <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.singlecare.com\/prescription\/cozaar\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cozaar<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. While this drug is primarily used to lower blood pressure, it is sometimes prescribed to decrease the risk of stroke for those with high blood pressure and an enlarged heart. It may also be prescribed to slow kidney disease caused by Type 2 diabetes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before taking losartan, make sure your physician or pharmacist is aware of all your current medications. Taking losartan with certain medications may lead to drug interactions. For example, taking losartan with certain substances with stimulant effects, such as caffeine, may lead to reduced blood-pressure lowering effects of losartan.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Caffeine and high blood pressure<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The problem with drinking coffee while having high blood pressure is its high caffeine content. Caffeine is a psychoactive substance, like nicotine and alcohol, stimulating the central nervous system and affecting how the brain works. But unlike nicotine and alcohol, caffeine use is more widely accepted, with around <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/niosh\/emres\/longhourstraining\/caffeine.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">80% of adults<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in the U.S. consuming caffeine each day, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So what\u2019s the problem with combining caffeine and losartan? \u201cCaffeine tends to increase blood pressure as it stimulates the body,\u201d says Nancy Mitchell, RN, a nurse and contributing writer at <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.assistedlivingcenter.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Assisted Living<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. \u201cThe extent depends on how much caffeine you consume in the beverage.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Can you drink coffee while taking losartan?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While you could technically drink coffee while on losartan, the medication may not be as effective at lowering your blood pressure. \u201cIn some cases, it may be okay to drink coffee while on losartan,\u201d Dr. Mach says. \u201cHowever, this should be discussed with your primary care physician.\u201d But keep in mind: Coffee is not the only food or beverage with caffeine.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Green tea, energy drinks, certain sodas, dark chocolate, and some dietary supplements, like guarana, all contain caffeine, which can raise your blood pressure. Cutting out or limiting these items from your diet could help you decrease your blood pressure, but that\u2019s not the only benefit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Excessive caffeine consumption won\u2019t just raise your blood pressure, it can also lead to headaches, insomnia, and digestive problems. Decreasing your caffeine intake could have benefits on multiple aspects of your health, especially if you experience caffeine-related health issues.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re a coffee lover and still crave the taste or morning ritual, you may consider decaf coffee as an alternative. \u201cDecaffeinated beverages aren\u2019t caffeine-free,\u201d Mitchell explains. \u201cIn reality, they\u2019ve undergone a process to remove nearly all the caffeine\u2014about 97%. This means that there might be a slight influence of decaf drinks on your blood pressure. However, in many cases, the effect is negligible.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For those that require coffee to wake up in the morning and need a new routine, try drinking a cold glass of water, exercising in the morning, or eating a protein-rich breakfast to fuel your day. Your blood pressure will thank you. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Almost half of Americans (47%) have high blood pressure or are taking medication to treat it, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
