LOSASTRUM 50 

Losartan Potassium (50mg)

Losartan Potassium "(50mg)is a widely prescribed medication under the brand name LOSASTRUM 50. It belongs to a class of drugs known as angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) and is primarily used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). By lowering blood pressure, Losartan helps reduce the risk of stroke, heart attack, and kidney problems. LOSASTRUM 50, containing 50mg of Losartan Potassium, is designed to manage blood pressure effectively while minimizing potential side effects.

Uses of LOSASTRUM 50

LOSASTRUM 50 is primarily prescribed for the treatment of hypertension, which is a common condition characterized by elevated blood pressure levels. The medication works by relaxing blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily, thereby reducing blood pressure. In addition to managing hypertension, LOSASTRUM 50 is also used in the treatment of:

1. Diabetic Nephropathy: LOSASTRUM 50 is often prescribed to protect the kidneys in patients with type 2 diabetes who have proteinuria (excess protein in the urine). It slows the progression of kidney disease in these patients.

2. Stroke Prevention: In certain cases, Losartan Potassium is used to reduce the risk of stroke, particularly in patients with an enlarged heart (left ventricular hypertrophy) and high blood pressure.

Dosage and Administration

The dosage of LOSASTRUM 50 depends on the specific condition being treated and the patient's response to the medication. It's important to follow the doctor's instructions carefully. Below are general guidelines for LOSASTRUM 50:

1. For Hypertension: The usual starting dose is 50mg once daily. Depending on the blood pressure response, the dosage may be adjusted to 100mg once daily.

2. For Chronic Heart Failure: The recommended dose is typically 50mg once daily. It may be increased to 100mg daily based on the patient's tolerance and response to the treatment.

3. For Diabetic Nephropathy: The initial dose is often 50mg once daily, with a possible increase to 100mg once daily based on blood pressure goals.

4. For Stroke Prevention: The recommended dose is usually 50mg once daily, with adjustments made as necessary.

LOSASTRUM 50 can be taken with or without food. It is advisable to take the medication at the same time every day to maintain consistent blood levels. Do not stop taking the medication without consulting your healthcare provider, as this could lead to a rebound in blood pressure or worsen the underlying condition.
