About AURO-LOSARTAN

AURO-LOSARTAN is a prescription medication containing the active ingredient Losartan Potassium, an angiotensin II receptor antagonist used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and to protect the kidneys from damage due to diabetes.

Key Benefits & Uses

• Treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension) to lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of stroke, heart attack, and kidney disease.
• Protection of the kidneys from damage due to diabetes, reducing the risk of kidney failure and the need for dialysis.
• Management of diabetic nephropathy, a complication of diabetes that can lead to kidney failure.

Active Ingredient & Action

Losartan Potassium works by blocking the action of angiotensin II, a potent vasoconstrictor, which is a part of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) that regulates blood pressure. By blocking the action of angiotensin II, Losartan Potassium causes blood vessels to relax and widen, reducing blood pressure and improving blood flow to the kidneys.

Important Notes

It is essential to use AURO-LOSARTAN exactly as prescribed by your doctor and to follow a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet and regular exercise, to manage high blood pressure and prevent kidney damage. Inform your doctor about any medical conditions, including kidney disease, heart failure, or liver disease, before taking AURO-LOSARTAN. Do not stop taking AURO-LOSARTAN without consulting your doctor, as this may lead to a sudden increase in blood pressure.
