Losartan Reminder: Daily WhatsApp Alerts With mydawAI

The mydawAI team · · 3 min read

The short answer

Losartan is an angiotensin receptor blocker commonly prescribed for high blood pressure and, in some people with diabetes, to help protect the kidneys. mydawAI turns your losartan prescription into a daily WhatsApp reminder with a Taken button, for you or your family.

What is losartan commonly prescribed for?

Losartan is an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) that doctors commonly prescribe for high blood pressure. It was one of the first medicines in the ARB family. Doctors may also prescribe it for some people with diabetes to help protect the kidneys, and in certain heart conditions. In India it is sold as losartan potassium under brands such as Losar and Repace.

Losartan is typically a long-term medicine. Its benefit depends on regular use over months and years, as your doctor plans.

Why does taking losartan on time matter?

Losartan protects quietly, so a missed tablet does not announce itself. Blood pressure and kidney protection are both long games: what counts is the routine across weeks, not a single day. A consistent time, backed by a WhatsApp nudge, keeps that routine steady.

How do I set a losartan reminder on WhatsApp with mydawAI?

mydawAI sets up your losartan reminder from your prescription and sends it on WhatsApp every day. Follow these steps:

  1. Create your free account at app.mydawai.in/signup and link your WhatsApp number.
  2. Add losartan: take a photo of the prescription, send a voice note like "Losartan after dinner", or type it in.
  3. Check the details mydawAI read. Anything missing becomes a short follow-up question, never a guess.
  4. Get your reminder on WhatsApp with a single Taken button and tap it once you have taken the tablet.

Can mydawAI remind my parent or family member to take losartan?

Yes, mydawAI's Care Circle lets you add as many family members as you need, each with their own losartan or BP schedule. Reminders go to their WhatsApp after they agree, in English or Hindi. If a dose is not marked Taken, mydawAI reminds them again and then lets you know, so your parent is never quietly skipping.

How do I refill losartan from my local pharmacy?

Your losartan stock goes down with every Taken tap, and mydawAI asks before reordering. When stock is low and auto-refill is on, you get a WhatsApp message with the order. Say "Yes" and it goes to your own pharmacy on WhatsApp with the prescription, between 9 AM and 6 PM. Payment and pickup are between you and the chemist.

What if I miss a dose of losartan?

Follow the leaflet's advice or ask your pharmacist or doctor, and never take extra to catch up unless told to. mydawAI shows the dose as missed, which is useful to share at your next visit. For a family member, it can alert you as caretaker so you can check on them. Our guide on what to do after a missed dose explains the general approach.
