Losartan Tablets , an angiotensin-II receptor antagonist, helps lower blood
pressure by preventing angiotensin-II from binding to receptors in blood vessels,
causing them to relax. It is used to treat hypertension in adults and children
(ages 6-18), protect kidney function in hypertensive patients with type 2
diabetes and proteinuria, and treat chronic heart failure when ACE inhibitors are
unsuitable. Additionally, it reduces the risk of stroke in patients with high blood
pressure and left ventricular thickening. Losartan is available in strengths of 25
mg and 50 mg.
