Why this happens
Ginseng has natural blood-pressure-lowering properties that can add to the effects of losartan. Additionally, some studies suggest ginseng may interfere with the enzymes (CYP2C9 and CYP3A4) that your liver uses to turn losartan into its active form.
What you should do
Monitor your blood pressure regularly at home. If you feel dizzy, lightheaded, or faint, contact your doctor. It is best to inform your GP or pharmacist before starting any herbal supplements while on blood pressure medication.
