Description

Losartan potassium, marketed under the brand name Cozaar, is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) medication primarily prescribed for the management of hypertension (high blood pressure) and certain kidney conditions in individuals with type 2 diabetes. Each package contains 30 tablets of losartan potassium.

Key Features:

• Blood pressure control: Losartan potassium works by blocking the action of angiotensin II, a hormone that constricts blood vessels, thereby causing blood pressure to rise. By blocking angiotensin II receptors, Cozaar helps to relax blood vessels and lower blood pressure.
• Renal protection: In addition to its antihypertensive effects, losartan potassium may also provide kidney protection by reducing the risk of kidney damage and slowing the progression of kidney disease in individuals with type 2 diabetes.
• Cardiovascular benefits: Cozaar has been shown to reduce the risk of stroke, heart attack, and other cardiovascular events in individuals with hypertension and left ventricular hypertrophy.

Usage Instructions:

• The dosage of Losartan potassium varies depending on the condition being treated, its severity, and individual patient response. It is crucial to follow the dosage instructions provided by your healthcare provider.
• For hypertension, the typical starting dose for adults is 50mg orally once daily, with adjustments made based on blood pressure response.
• For individuals with type 2 diabetes and proteinuria, the usual starting dose is 50mg orally once daily, with a maximum dosage of 100mg once daily.
• Losartan potassium tablets can be taken with or without food and should be swallowed whole with a glass of water.

Precautions:

• Inform your healthcare provider about any pre-existing medical conditions or ongoing medications before starting Losartan potassium.
• Use caution if you have a history of certain kidney conditions, as Losartan potassium may further impair kidney function, particularly in individuals with bilateral renal artery stenosis.
• Losartan potassium may cause fetal harm if used during pregnancy. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant.

Side Effects: While Losartan potassium is generally well-tolerated, some individuals may experience the following side effects:

• Dizziness
• Fatigue
• Hypotension (low blood pressure)
• Hyperkalemia (high potassium levels)
• Cough
• Back pain
• Diarrhea

If any of these side effects persist or worsen, inform your healthcare provider promptly. Additionally, seek immediate medical attention if you experience signs of a severe allergic reaction such as rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, or trouble breathing.
