1. WHAT LOSARTAN POTASSIUM PINEWOOD IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Losartan belongs to a group of medicines known as angiotensin-II
receptor antagonists. Angiotensin-II is a
substance produced in the body which binds to receptors in blood
vessels, causing them to tighten. This
results in an increase in blood pressure. Losartan prevents the
binding of angiotensin-II to these receptors,
causing the blood vessels to relax which in turn lowers the blood
pressure. Losartan slows the decrease of
kidney function in patients with high blood pressure and type 2
diabetes.
LOSARTAN POTASSIUM PINEWOOD IS USED

to treat patients with high blood pressure (hypertension) in adults
and in children and adolescents 6
– 18 years of age.

to protect the kidney in hypertensive type 2 diabetic patients with
laboratory evidence of impaired
renal function and proteinuria > 0.5 g per day (a condition in which
urine contains an abnormal
amount of protein).

to treat patients with chronic heart failure when therapy with
specific medicine
