How long does losartan stay in your system?

Answer 1

Losartan typically has a half-life of about 2 hours, but its active metabolite can remain in the body for up to 6 to 9 hours. Generally, it takes about 5 half-lives for a drug to be eliminated from the system, so losartan may stay in your system for approximately 10 to 20 hours after the last dose. However, individual factors such as metabolism, age, and kidney function can influence this duration. Always consult a healthcare professional for personalized information.
