It helps to relax blood vessels, thereby lowering blood pressure and reducing the risk of complications such as heart attack, stroke, and kidney problems.

- Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. Do not crush or chew the tablet before swallowing.
Precautions
- Inform your doctor about any existing medical conditions, allergies, or medications you are currently taking before starting Tansin Tablet.
- Regular monitoring of blood pressure, kidney function, and electrolyte levels is recommended during treatment with Losartan Potassium.
- Avoid consuming alcohol while taking this medication, as it may enhance the blood pressure-lowering effects and increase the risk of side effects.
