Losartan is an angiotensin II receptor antagonist (ARB) used primarily to treat high blood pressure and to help protect the kidneys in patients with Diabetes. It works by blocking the action of a hormone that causes blood vessels to constrict, leading to relaxation and dilation of the blood vessels. This helps to lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of heart-related issues. Vivasartan is a lesser-known name sometimes associated with losartan or its derivatives, but losartan is the widely recognized term.
