Description
Losartas 50mg Tablets contain Losartan Potassium, an angiotensin II receptor antagonist used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and heart failure. By blocking the action of angiotensin II, Losartan relaxes blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily and reducing the workload on the heart. This medication also helps protect the kidneys from damage due to diabetes and reduces the risk of stroke in patients with hypertension and left ventricular hypertrophy.
Dosage/Directions:
The typical dosage for adults is one 50mg tablet taken once daily, with or without food. The dosage may be adjusted by a healthcare professional based on the patient’s response and medical condition. It is important to take the medication at the same time each day and not to exceed the prescribed dosage.
Side Effects:
Common side effects include dizziness, headache, and fatigue. Some patients may experience gastrointestinal issues such as diarrhea or nausea. Rarely, severe side effects like allergic reactions, muscle pain, or changes in kidney function may occur. If any severe side effects are experienced, discontinue use and consult a healthcare provider immediately.
