Losartan is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). It's also used to lower the risk of stroke in certain people with heart disease or to slow long-term kidney damage in people with type 2 diabetes who also have high blood pressure. If you feel Losartan is worsening the tremors, speak to your doctor about your concerns.
