What COZAAR is and what it is used for
Losartan (COZAAR) 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.
COZAAR 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
