Losartium -50 mg

Each tablet of Losartium-50 mg contains 50 mg of the active ingredient Losartan Potassium USP. Losartan Potassium is a type of medication known as an angiotensin II receptor antagonist (or ARB), which is commonly used in the management of hypertension and other cardiovascular-related conditions. It works by blocking the action of angiotensin II, a substance in the body that narrows blood vessels and releases hormones that can raise blood pressure.

Losartium-50 mg is primarily indicated for the treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension), which helps prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems. It is also used in patients with type 2 diabetes to protect kidney function, particularly in those showing evidence of impaired renal function. Additionally, Losartan may be prescribed for patients with heart failure to improve their condition and reduce the risk of further cardiovascular events.

The standard dosage for Losartium-50 mg generally involves taking one 50 mg tablet daily. However, the exact dosage may vary depending on the patient's response, the severity of the condition being treated, and other individual factors. The medication can be taken with or without food, and it's usually recommended to take it at the same time each day to maintain a consistent level in the bloodstream. For patients who are taking this medication for high blood pressure, lifestyle changes like diet, exercise, and weight control are often recommended in conjunction with medication. Dosage adjustments should only be made under the supervision of a healthcare provider. Patients are advised to discuss their complete medical history and any other medications they are taking to avoid potential interactions.
