Azarten® (losartan)

Azarten^® (losartan) is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) which relaxes blood vessels to make blood flow easier. It is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and to treat kidney disease associated with diabetes. It can also lower the risk of stroke for people with heart disease.

Although Azarten^® (losartan) will start to reduce blood pressure in about 6 hours after it is taken, the full effect of blood pressure regulation may take up to 3 to 6 weeks.
