What Experts Say

Losartan blocks the action of angiotensin II, a hormone that tightens blood vessels, allowing them to relax and lowering blood pressure as a result. It also lowers pressure inside the tiny filtering units of the kidney, which slows kidney damage in people with long-standing diabetes.

Doctors prescribe losartan for high blood pressure and for diabetic kidney disease, usually starting at a low dose and adjusting it after checking blood pressure and kidney function a few weeks later. It is often combined with a diuretic or another blood pressure agent if it is not controlled on its own.

High blood pressure is often called a silent problem because many people feel completely normal despite dangerously high readings, so pills get skipped once symptoms are absent. Stopping this medicine abruptly without medical advice can let blood pressure climb back up quickly and raise the risk of a stroke.
