About Losartan Potassium BP/USP/EP

Losartan Potassium is an oral antihypertensive drug belonging to the angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) class. It works by selectively blocking the AT receptors, which prevents the action of angiotensin II, a hormone that causes blood vessels to constrict. This leads to vasodilation, reduced blood pressure, and decreased workload on the heart. Losartan is commonly prescribed for managing hypertension, protecting kidney function in diabetic patients, treating heart failure, and reducing the risk of stroke in patients with left ventricular hypertrophy. It is well-tolerated and often preferred for patients who cannot use ACE inhibitors due to side effects like cough.
