Composition of Losamax 50
Losamax 50 contains Losartan (50mg). It belongs to the Angiotensin receptor blocker / ACE inhibitor class of medicines.
Uses of Losamax 50
- Hypertension (high blood pressure) Heart Failure Prevention of heart attack
- Stroke
Benefits of Losamax 50
- In High blood pressure
- Losamax 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
- Losamax 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
- Losamax reduces the pressure inside the kidneys' filters and cuts the protein leaking into the urine, slowing the kidney damage that diabetes causes.
How Losamax 50 works
Losamax 50 Tablet is an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB). It relaxes the blood vessels by blocking the action of a chemical that usually makes blood vessels tighter. This lowers the blood pressure, allowing the blood to flow more smoothly to different organs and the heart to pump more efficiently.

Warnings and precautions
Stand up slowly for the first few days — dizziness on rising is common when you start or your dose goes up.

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.
