- Losartan blocks the action of angiotensin II, a substance that causes blood vessels to narrow and stimulates aldosterone secretion. By blocking angiotensin II at the AT1 receptor, losartan relaxes blood vessels, lowers blood pressure, improves blood flow, and reduces the workload on the heart.
- Take the medicine at the same time every day.
- Continue treatment even if you feel well, as high blood pressure often has no symptoms.
- Avoid stopping the medication suddenly without medical advice.
- Avoid taking anti-inflammatory medicines such as ibuprofen unless approved by your doctor.
- Maintain a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise, weight management, reduced salt intake, smoking cessation, and limiting alcohol consumption.
