How It Works

Losartan blocks the action of angiotensin II, a substance that can cause blood vessels to narrow. By blocking its effects, Losartan helps blood vessels relax, which can lower blood pressure and reduce the workload on the cardiovascular system.

Recommended Dosage

The appropriate dosage should always be determined by a licensed healthcare professional. For hypertension, the FDA-approved labeling for losartan identifies 50 mg once daily as the usual adult dose, although the dosage may be adjusted according to the patient's condition and treatment response. Patients with certain conditions, including hepatic impairment, may require a lower starting dose.

Important Safety Information

• Healthcare professionals may monitor kidney function and potassium levels in susceptible patients.

• Losartan may cause low blood pressure, particularly in patients who are volume- or salt-depleted.

• Potential adverse effects include dizziness, upper respiratory infection, nasal congestion, and back pain.

• Certain medicines, including potassium-increasing agents, lithium, NSAIDs, and other renin-angiotensin-system blockers, may interact with losartan.
