Losartan
Alternative Names: Cozaar
Losartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) commonly used to treat hypertension. It lowers blood pressure by blocking the action of angiotensin II, a hormone that causes blood vessels to constrict. Losartan is often chosen for patients who can’t tolerate ACE inhibitors due to side effects like cough. It also provides added benefits for patients with diabetes or chronic kidney disease by helping to protect kidney function. Losartan is typically well-tolerated and taken once daily.
