Losartan Potassium 50mg is an antihypertensive medication belonging to the class of drugs known as Angiotensin II Receptor Blockers (ARBs). It is primarily used for the management of high blood pressure (hypertension) and helps reduce the risk of stroke in patients with left ventricular hypertrophy. It also plays an important role in protecting kidney function in patients with type 2 diabetes and proteinuria. Losartan works by blocking the action of angiotensin II, a substance in the body that causes blood vessels to tighten and narrow. By relaxing and widening the blood vessels, Losartan improves blood flow, lowers blood pressure, and reduces strain on the heart. Regular use helps prevent long-term cardiovascular complications such as heart attack, stroke, and kidney damage.
