About this product
Overview
Giozar 50mg Tablet contains the active ingredient Losartan Potassium, which belongs to the class of medications known as angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs). It is formulated as an oral tablet for the management of various cardiovascular conditions.
Active Ingredient
Losartan Potassium: This medication selectively blocks the action of angiotensin II, a hormone that causes blood vessels to constrict, thereby reducing blood pressure. It helps relax blood vessels, lower blood pressure, and improve blood flow.
Uses

- Treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure) to reduce the risk of stroke, heart attack, and kidney problems.
- Management of diabetic nephropathy in patients with type 2 diabetes and hypertension.
- Protection of the kidney in patients with type 2 diabetes and proteinuria.
Mechanism of Action
Losartan Potassium works by blocking the binding of angiotensin II to its receptors, leading to vasodilation (widening of blood vessels) and reduced secretion of aldosterone, a hormone that regulates blood pressure and fluid balance.
Administration
Take Giozar 50mg Tablet orally, with or without food, as directed by a healthcare professional. The dosage may vary depending on individual patient factors and the specific condition being treated.
