Composition of Icosar 50 mg
Icosar 50 mg contains Losartan. It belongs to the Angiotensin receptor blocker / ACE inhibitor class of medicines.
Uses of Icosar 50 mg
- High blood pressure
- Heart failure
- Diabetic kidney disease
Benefits of Icosar 50 mg
- In High blood pressure
- Icosar relaxes and widens your blood vessels so the heart pumps against less resistance. Lowering blood pressure cuts the risk of stroke, heart attack and kidney damage, even though you will not feel it working.
- In Heart failure
- Icosar eases the load on a weak heart so it pumps more efficiently, which reduces breathlessness and swelling and lowers the chance of a hospital admission.
- In Diabetic kidney disease
- Icosar reduces the pressure inside the kidneys' filters and cuts the protein leaking into the urine, slowing the kidney damage that diabetes causes.
How Icosar 50 mg works
Losartan relaxes and widens your blood vessels by blocking a hormone that narrows them, so your heart does not have to push as hard and your blood pressure falls.

Warnings and precautions
Stand up slowly for the first few days — dizziness on rising is common when you start or your dose goes up. Stop and seek urgent care if your lips, tongue, face or throat swell, or you have difficulty breathing. A persistent dry, tickly cough can be caused by the ACE inhibitor group; tell your doctor rather than stopping on your own, as an alternative exists. Your doctor will check your kidney function and potassium after starting and after any dose change. Do not use salt substitutes containing potassium without asking your doctor.

Interactions with other medicines
Anti-inflammatory painkillers reduce the effect and can harm the kidneys when combined. Potassium supplements, potassium-sparing water tablets and salt substitutes can push potassium too high. Lithium levels rise when taken with these medicines.
