What the interaction means

Losartan's FDA label does not mention St. John's Wort. NCCIH's St. John's Wort fact sheet does not mention losartan, ARBs, angiotensin, or blood pressure medications; its named drug interactions are antidepressants, birth control pills, cyclosporine, anticonvulsants, digoxin, ivabradine, certain antiretrovirals, certain cancer drugs, warfarin, and simvastatin.

No documented interaction was identified in the authoritative sources reviewed. This is not a guarantee that no interaction exists for every dose, formulation, or individual -- it means the sources checked did not document one.

Practical context

St. John's Wort is a well-known CYP3A4/P-glycoprotein inducer, and losartan's own label documents that the CYP3A4 inducer rifampin reduces losartan's blood levels -- a plausible shared mechanism was checked directly, but St. John's Wort's own current fact sheet does not name losartan, ARBs, or blood pressure medications as a class, so no interaction is documented in the sources reviewed.
