Losartan

Losartan is a medication used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and to protect the kidneys from damage due to diabetes. It belongs to a class of drugs known as angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) and works by relaxing blood vessels so blood can flow more easily. This helps to lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of strokes and heart attacks. Losartan is typically taken once daily, with or without food.
