Description
LOSATAN 50 MG Tablet is a commonly prescribed antihypertensive medication that contains Losartan Potassium, belonging to the ARB class. By blocking the action of angiotensin II, a substance that constricts blood vessels, Losartan helps to relax and widen blood vessels, effectively lowering blood pressure. This action not only reduces the risk of stroke in individuals with high blood pressure and left ventricular hypertrophy but also aids in protecting kidney function in patients with type 2 diabetes and proteinuria. The standard dosage is one 50 mg tablet taken once daily, which may be adjusted based on individual response and tolerability. Common side effects include dizziness, fatigue, and upper respiratory infections. It is important to note that Losartan should not be used during pregnancy due to potential risks to the unborn baby. Patients are advised to follow their healthcare provider's instructions and attend regular check-ups to monitor blood pressure and kidney function during treatment.
