What is Losartan and How to Take It
Your doctor may prescribe Losartan to manage hypertension. It is an angiotensin II receptor blocker that relaxes and dilates blood vessels, thereby aiding in blood pressure reduction. It has been beneficial for many individuals in maintaining healthy blood pressure levels.
In individuals presenting with type 2 diabetes, Losartan may be recommended as a therapeutic measure to prevent diabetic nephropathy. This renal ailment can manifest as a consequence of diabetes.
In the case of patients who are at a heightened risk of stroke as a result of conditions such as left ventricular hypertrophy, it may be advisable to consider the use of Losartan as a potential measure for stroke prevention.
Losartan works by blocking the angiotensin II receptor. Angiotensin II is a hormone that causes hypertension by constricting blood vessels. Blocking angiotensin II causes blood vessel dilation, which lowers blood pressure in hypertensive patients.
Losartan may be administered orally with or without food. Take it at bedtime or any time of the day and repeat it at the same time the next day. To maintain stable blood levels, take it on a daily basis at the same time. For effective dosing take one tablet daily and do not change your dosing schedule without consulting with a healthcare provider.
