Product Details
Losanta 25Mg Tablets are designed to manage high blood pressure and related conditions. Each tablet contains losartan potassium, an effective medication that works by blocking the effects of angiotensin II, a substance in the body that causes blood vessels to constrict. By inhibiting this action, Losanta helps relax blood vessels, thereby lowering blood pressure and reducing the risk of stroke and kidney damage.
Purposes
Losanta 25Mg Tablets are primarily used for:
- Hypertension Management: To lower high blood pressure, either alone or in combination with other antihypertensive agents.
- Stroke Prevention: To decrease the risk of stroke in individuals with high blood pressure and left ventricular hypertrophy.
- Diabetic Kidney Protection: To slow the progression of kidney damage in patients with type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure.

When using Losanta 25Mg Tablets, be aware of the following warnings:
- Renal Function: Changes in kidney function may occur, particularly in susceptible individuals. These changes are often reversible upon discontinuation of the medication.
- Electrolyte Imbalance: Monitor for electrolyte imbalances, especially if you have renal impairment or diabetes.
- Potassium Intake: Avoid potassium supplements or salt substitutes containing potassium unless directed by your healthcare provider.
