How Arbli (losartan) works
Arbli (losartan) is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB). It works by blocking a hormone in your body called angiotensin II. This hormone normally tightens your blood vessels, which can raise blood pressure.
By blocking angiotensin II, Arbli (losartan) relaxes blood vessels and helps lower blood pressure. This also helps reduce strain on the heart. In people with Type 2 diabetes and kidney problems, it can also help slow kidney damage.

Pharmacist tips for Arbli (losartan)
- You can take Arbli (losartan) with or without food. If the medication hurts your stomach, you can try taking it with food next time to see if that helps.
- Before each dose, shake the bottle of Arbli (losartan) well for 20 seconds. This helps mix the medication evenly so you get the right amount for each dose.
- Measure every dose of Arbli (losartan) carefully. Use an oral dosing syringe or dosing cup to get the exact amount that you're prescribed. Ask the pharmacy if you need extras. Don't use household spoons because they might be accurate and using them can make you take the wrong dose.
- Watch for dizziness when you start Arbli (losartan) or after your dose gets raised. Stand up slowly and sit or lie down if you feel lightheaded. This helps prevent falls from low blood pressure. If you feel dizzy often while taking this medication, let your care team know.
- Drink plenty of fluids, especially if you’ve vomited, had diarrhea, or sweated a lot. This helps prevent dehydration. This is important because being dehydrated while taking Arbli (losartan) can put you at risk of low blood pressure and kidney problems.
- Avoid potassium supplements and salt substitutes that have potassium while taking Arbli (losartan). This medication can raise your potassium levels. Taking extra potassium can be dangerous. Ask your care team before using these products.
- Be careful with NSAIDs, like ibuprofen (Advil), while taking Arbli (losartan). Taking NSAIDs often or at high doses can strain your kidneys. They can also reduce how well Arbli (losartan) works. Ask a healthcare professional about safer pain options if needed.
- Tell your care team about all the medications you take or plan to take. Arbli (losartan) can interact with lithium and other medications. These interactions can raise the risk of side effects. Your care team can check that your medications are safe to take together and make changes if needed to keep you safe.
- If you can become pregnant or are planning to be: Talk to your prescriber if Arbli (losartan) is right for you. This medication can harm an unborn baby. If you become pregnant, stop Arbli (losartan) and call your prescriber right away.
- If you’re breastfeeding: Talk to your prescriber about the safest way to feed your baby. Breastfeeding isn't recommended while you're taking Arbli (losartan) and for 2 days after your last dose. It's not clear if the medication can pass into breast milk, but it could harm your baby if it does.
- Store Arbli (losartan) at room temperature (68°F to 77°F) in the original bottle to protect it from light. Use the liquid within 60 days after opening the bottle. After this time, throw it away and get a refill from the pharmacy.

Risks and warnings for Arbli (losartan)
Arbli (losartan) can cause some serious health issues. This risk may be even higher for certain groups. If this worries you, talk to your doctor or pharmacist about other options.
Harm to an unborn baby
- Risk factors: Currently pregnant | Planning pregnancy
Arbli (losartan) can cause severe harm or death to an unborn baby if taken during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy. It can affect how the baby's kidneys grow and work. It can also lower the amount of amniotic fluid around the baby, which can lead to other birth defects. These effects can be life-threatening.
If you become pregnant, stop taking Arbli (losartan) and tell your care team right away. Talk to your primary care provider or prescriber about safer medications for high blood pressure during pregnancy.
Low blood pressure
- Risk factors: Not enough fluid in your body | A lot of diarrhea or vomiting | Low salt levels in your body | Taking higher doses of diuretic mediations
Arbli (losartan) can make your blood pressure drop too much. This can make you feel dizzy, tired, or lightheaded. It's more likely to happen when you first start Arbli (losartan) or when your dose gets raised. This can also happen if you become dehydrated, such as from having too much diarrhea or vomiting too much.
Make sure to stay well-hydrated. Sit down if you feel dizzy. And when you're ready to stand back up, hold onto something sturdy to keep your balance.
Let your care team know if you feel dizzy, lightheaded, faint, tired, or confused often while you're taking Arbli (losartan). Get medical help right away if you fall and hit your head.
Kidney damage
- Risk factors: Severe heart failure | Kidney problems | Not enough fluid in your body (dehydration) | Taking other medications that can cause kidney damage
Arbli (losartan) can help protect the kidneys in people with diabetes. But it can also reduce kidney blood flow in some people. This might lead to kidney damage. The risk might be higher in people with severe heart failure or certain kidney problems. It can also be higher for those who take medications that can worsen kidney function, like nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).
If you have a risk of kidney problems from Arbli (losartan), your care team might order blood tests during treatment. These tests help make sure your kidneys are healthy and are working properly. If your kidney function gets worse, your prescriber might tell you to stop the medication.
Tell your primary care provider or prescriber if you're urinating less than usual or notice unusual swelling in your body. These could be signs that your kidneys aren't working as well.
High potassium levels
- Risk factors: Taking other medications that can raise potassium levels
ARBs like Arbli (losartan) can raise the potassium levels in your blood. Your risk is higher if you also take other medications that can raise potassium. These can include spironolactone (Aldactone) or eplerenone (Inspra).
Your care team might check your potassium levels with blood tests during treatment. If your levels are too high, your prescriber might lower your Arbli (losartan) dose or stop the medication.
To lower your risk, avoid extra potassium in supplements or salt substitutes. Tell your care team right away if you have nausea, muscle weakness, or an abnormal heartbeat. These can be signs of high potassium levels. You'll probably need your potassium levels checked.
