==Overdosage==
 
Significant lethality was observed in mice and rats after oral administration of 1000 mg/kg and 2000 mg/kg, respectively, about 44 and 170 times the maximum recommended human dose on a mg/m2 basis.
 
Limited data are available in regard to overdosage in humans. The most likely manifestation of overdosage would be [[hypotension]] and [[tachycardia]]; [[bradycardia]] could occur from parasympathetic (vagal) stimulation. If symptomatic [[hypotension]] should occur, supportive treatment should be instituted.
 
Neither losartan nor its active metabolite can be removed by [[hemodialysis]].<ref name="dailymed.nlm.nih.gov">{{Cite web  | last =  | first =  | title = COZAAR (LOSARTAN POTASSIUM) TABLET, FILM COATED [MERCK SHARP & DOHME CORP.] | url = http://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/lookup.cfm?setid=5ac32c20-169d-475a-fc8a-934f758d6ab0 | publisher =  | date =  | accessdate = 20 February 2014 }}</ref>
