(See PRECAUTIONS , Race and CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY , Pharmacodynamics and Clinical Effects , Reduction in the Risk of Stroke , Race . ) Losartan potassium tablets are indicated for the treatment of diabetic nephropathy with an elevated serum creatinine and proteinuria (urinary albumin to creatinine ratio ≥ 300 mg/g) in patients with type 2 diabetes and a history of hypertension.

DESCRIPTION
Losartan potassium is an angiotensin II receptor (type AT )
antagonist. Losartan potassium, a non-
peptide molecule, is chemically described as
2-butyl-4-chloro-1-[_p_-(_o_-1_H_-tetrazol-5-
ylphenyl)benzyl]imidazole-5-methanol monopotassium salt.
Its structural formula is:
C
H ClKN O M.W. 461.01
Losartan potassium is a white to off-white free-flowing crystalline
powder. It is freely soluble in
water, soluble in alcohols, and slightly soluble in common organic
solvents, such as acetonitrile and
methyl ethyl ketone. Oxidation of the 5-hydroxymethyl group on the
imidazole ring results in the active
metabolite of losartan.
Losartan potassium is available as tablets for oral administration
containing either 25 mg, 50 mg or 100
mg of losartan potassium and the following inactive ingredients: D&C
Yellow #10 aluminum lake,

pregelatinized starch, talc, and
titanium dioxide. Additionally, 50 mg and 100 mg tablets contain FD&C
Yellow #6/sunset yellow FCF
aluminum lake.
