Losartan Potassium 50mg is an antihypertensive medication belonging to the class of Angiotensin II Receptor Blockers (ARBs). It works by blocking the action of angiotensin II, a chemical in the body that causes blood vessels to constrict. By relaxing and widening blood vessels, Losartan helps lower blood pressure and improves blood flow. It is commonly prescribed for the management of hypertension (high blood pressure), reduction of stroke risk in patients with left ventricular hypertrophy, and protection of kidney function in patients with type 2 diabetes and proteinuria. Regular use helps prevent serious cardiovascular complications such as heart attack, stroke, and kidney damage. It is generally well tolerated and suitable for long-term therapy under medical supervision.
