Losartan Potassium 25mg is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) used in the management of high blood pressure (hypertension). It works by blocking the action of angiotensin II, a chemical in the body that causes blood vessels to tighten. By relaxing blood vessels, Losartan helps lower blood pressure, improve blood flow, and reduce the risk of stroke, heart attack, and kidney damage. Losartan is commonly prescribed for hypertension, protection of kidney function in patients with type 2 diabetes, and reducing the risk of stroke in patients with left ventricular hypertrophy. It is often recommended as a first-line treatment option according to global hypertension management guidelines, including those from the World Health Organization and the American Heart Association.
