Losartan

Uses

Losartan is used in the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure), the prevention of heart attack and stroke, and heart failure.

How it Works

How Losartan works Losartan is an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB). It relaxes blood vessels by inhibiting the action of a chemical that typically constricts them. This action lowers blood pressure, allowing blood to flow more smoothly to various organs and enabling the heart to pump more efficiently.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Losartan include dizziness, back pain, upper respiratory tract infection, nasal congestion, and cough.

Your doctor may conduct regular tests to monitor urea, creatinine, and potassium levels in your blood.
Avoid taking anti-inflammatory medications, such as ibuprofen, alongside this medicine without consulting your doctor.
Do not take Losartan if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Do not stop taking it suddenly without consulting your doctor.
