Appreciate it, Jon. Opted for Losartan simply because of availability and costing. Thank you.

Both are ARBs and work by keeping your arteries more flexible. I am on olmesartan and it has worked well for me over the past 6 years. You should not be able to tell a difference between the two except that olmesartan is more expensive as there is no generic.
