Losartan FT Tablets 100mg (Pack of 10×3) – Effective Hypertension Treatment

Description:

Losartan FT tablets provide a convenient and effective way to manage high blood pressure (hypertension). These round, biconvex film-coated tablets are white or almost white, containing 100mg of Losartan potassium as the active ingredient.

Each pack contains 3 blister packs of 10 tablets each, individually sealed for optimal freshness and hygiene. A leaflet with detailed information is included within the pack.

How it Works:

Losartan is a potent angiotensin II receptor antagonist, working by blocking the action of a hormone that constricts blood vessels and increases blood pressure. By blocking this hormone, Losartan effectively relaxes the blood vessels, leading to a reduction in blood pressure.

Key Benefits:

• Proven effectiveness: Losartan is a widely-trusted and effective medication for treating hypertension, both in adults and children.
• Convenient dosage: One tablet taken daily is generally sufficient, making it easy to incorporate into your daily routine.
• Wide range of applications: Losartan can be used to treat various conditions related to high blood pressure, including:
  • Essential hypertension (high blood pressure)
  • Kidney disease in adults with hypertension and type II diabetes
  • Chronic heart failure in adults who can’t tolerate ACE inhibitors
  • Reducing the risk of stroke in adults with hypertension and left ventricular hypertrophy
• Well-tolerated: Losartan is generally well-tolerated by most patients, with a lower incidence of cough compared to ACE inhibitors.

Important Information:

• Dosage and Administration: It’s crucial to follow your doctor’s prescribed dosage and administration instructions. The usual starting dose is 50mg once daily, but it can be adjusted based on individual needs.
• Pregnant and breastfeeding women: Losartan is not recommended during pregnancy, especially in the second and third trimesters, and should be avoided while breastfeeding.
• Possible side effects: Like most medications, Losartan may cause side effects, although they are not experienced by everyone. Common side effects include dizziness, headache, and fatigue.
• Interactions with other medications: It’s vital to inform your doctor about all medications you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs, vitamins, and herbal supplements, as these can potentially interact with Losartan.

Consult your doctor before taking Losartan to ensure its suitability for your individual health needs and to discuss any potential risks or side effects.
