Active Ingredient & Action

LOSARTAN POTASSIUM, the active ingredient in COZAAR, works by blocking the action of angiotensin II, a potent vasoconstrictor that increases blood pressure. By blocking angiotensin II receptors, LOSARTAN POTASSIUM relaxes blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily and reducing blood pressure. This helps to prevent damage to the kidneys and other organs caused by high blood pressure.
