losartan

Losartan is a medication commonly used to treat high blood pressure and protect the kidneys in people with diabetes. It works by blocking a substance in the body called angiotensin II, which narrows blood vessels. By doing so, losartan helps relax and widen the blood vessels, making it easier for the heart to pump and reducing blood pressure. This also helps prevent damage to the arteries and organs caused by high blood pressure. Losartan is typically taken in tablet form and prescribed by a healthcare provider, with dosage tailored to individual needs.
