Description
Losartan, the first of a new class of antihypertensives. is an angiotensin II receptor (type AT1) antagonist. Angiotensin II is a potent vasoconstrictor, the primary vasoactive hormone of the renin-angiotensin system and an important component in the pathophysiology of hypertension. Losartan and its principal active metabolite block the vasoconstriction and aldosterono secreting effects of angiotensin 11 by selectively blocking the binding of angiotensin 11 to the AT1 receptor found in many tissues. Osartil is now regarded as the first-line therapy option for treating high blood pressure.

Losartan is indicated for the treatment of all grades of hypertension, Chronic heart failure, Stroke risk reduction in hypertension & LVH and Nephropathy in type 2 Diabetes.
