Sartan

Losartan (in English: Losartan) belongs to a group of drugs called angiotensin II receptor inhibitors, and it has a hypotensive effect that results from blocking angiotensin receptors that cause narrowing of blood vessels and the release of the hormone aldosterone that causes water and sodium absorption and high blood pressure, so blocking angiotensin II receptors counteracts All of the above leads to low blood pressure.

Losartan has a more efficient mechanism of action due to the effect of angiotensin II on the heart and blood vessels and fewer side effects compared to ACE inhibitors, which are also used to treat high blood pressure. Losartan is also used to lower the risk of kidney failure in patients with type 2 diabetes.

    Increased potassium level: Your blood pressure, kidney function, and the amount of potassium in your blood (this medicine may cause potassium levels to increase in some patients) should be monitored regularly while taking this medicine.

    Decreased kidney function: This drug may cause a decrease in kidney function and/or an increase in creatinine level, especially in patients with reduced renal blood flow (renal artery stenosis, heart failure).

    Use with caution in the following conditions: Aortic/mitral stenosis: Use with caution in patients with pronounced stenosis of the aorta/mitral valve.

    heart failure

    Liver dysfunction.

    and decreased blood volume.

    Renal artery stenosis and renal failure.
