About MINT-LOSARTAN

MINT-LOSARTAN is a prescription medication containing the active ingredient Losartan Potassium, a selective angiotensin II receptor antagonist. It is 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)
Protection of the kidneys from damage due to diabetes
Management of diabetic nephropathy

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). By blocking the action of angiotensin II, Losartan Potassium causes blood vessels to relax and dilate, resulting in a decrease in blood pressure. It also reduces the amount of protein lost in the urine, which helps to protect the kidneys from damage.

MINT-LOSARTAN should be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor. It may be taken with or without food and should be swallowed whole with water. Do not crush or chew the tablets. If you have any kidney problems or are taking other medications, consult your doctor before taking MINT-LOSARTAN.
