Losartan Potassium I.P. 50 Mg Tabs (Swaslo-50)- GA
₹48.00
Losartan Potassium I.P. 50 mg tablets are a prescription medication primarily used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension), heart failure, and to protect the kidneys in patients with type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure. “I.P.” stands for Indian Pharmacopoeia, indicating it meets the standards set by Indian regulatory bodies.
Key Information
- Active Ingredient: Losartan potassium, 50 milligrams (mg).
- Drug Class: Angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB).
- Mechanism of Action: It relaxes blood vessels by blocking the action of a natural chemical (angiotensin II) that makes them tighter. This lowers blood pressure and improves blood flow.
- Administration: It is an oral tablet taken once daily, with or without food, as directed by a doctor. It should be swallowed whole.
Important Considerations
- Prescription Only: This medicine is available only with a doctor’s prescription and is not intended for self-treatment.
- Do Not Stop Abruptly: Continue taking it regularly even if you feel well. Stopping suddenly can cause blood pressure to rise, increasing the risk of heart attack or stroke.
- Pregnancy Warning: Losartan is highly unsafe during pregnancy, especially in the second and third trimesters, as it can cause serious harm to the unborn baby. Stop taking it immediately if you become pregnant and consult your doctor.
- Alcohol: Avoid or limit alcohol consumption as it can enhance the blood pressure-lowering effect, leading to dizziness or lightheadedness.
- Potassium Levels: Losartan can increase potassium levels in the blood. Avoid potassium supplements or salt substitutes unless advised by your doctor. Your doctor may monitor your potassium levels with regular blood tests.
- Common Side Effects: Dizziness (especially after the first dose or when standing up quickly), fatigue, back pain, and stuffy nose are some common side effects.
- Interactions: Inform your doctor about all medications you are taking, especially NSAIDs (like ibuprofen), lithium, or other blood pressure medications (e.g., aliskiren), to avoid adverse interactions.
Always consult with a healthcare professional for personalized medical advice regarding the use of this medication.
