Watch for New Twists to Older Medications
June 2025
New versions of existing meds are entering the market...and may pop up on home med lists, your formulary, etc.
Arbli (losartan) will be the first ready-to-use oral suspension of this angiotensin receptor blocker. Some pharmacies have been compounding liquid losartan...usually as a 2.5 mg/mL product. But Arbli is 10 mg/mL.
Confirm the concentration and dose for home meds...to ensure patients get a correct dose in-house. Confusion between the 2.5 mg/mL and 10 mg/mL suspensions could result in a 4-fold dosing error.
