Description
Losartan Potassium 50 mg tablets are widely used medications belonging to the class of angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs). They are primarily prescribed for the treatment of hypertension, helping to lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of cardiovascular events such as stroke and heart attack.
The mechanism of action involves selectively blocking the binding of angiotensin II to its receptor (AT1) in vascular smooth muscle and the adrenal gland. This blockade prevents vasoconstriction and reduces aldosterone secretion, leading to vasodilation and decreased blood pressure.
Losartan Potassium 50 mg is administered orally, with dosing tailored to the individual based on their clinical condition and response to therapy. It is typically taken once daily, with or without food. Common side effects may include dizziness, headache, fatigue, and upper respiratory tract infections.
