Losar 25 mg Tablets contain Losartan Potassium, an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) used primarily to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and protect the kidneys in patients with type 2 diabetes and proteinuria. It also helps reduce the risk of stroke in patients with hypertension and left ventricular hypertrophy. By blocking the action of angiotensin II, Losar relaxes blood vessels, lowering blood pressure and improving blood flow.

• Effectively lowers elevated blood pressure
