CAS 124750-99-8: Losartan Potassium
Description:Losartan Potassium is an angiotensin II receptor antagonist primarily used in the treatment of hypertension and to protect the kidneys in patients with type 2 diabetes. It is a white to off-white crystalline powder that is soluble in water and exhibits a molecular formula of C22H22ClN6O. The compound works by blocking the action of angiotensin II, a hormone that causes blood vessels to constrict, thereby promoting vasodilation and reducing blood pressure. Losartan Potassium is typically administered orally and is known for its relatively long half-life, allowing for once-daily dosing. It may also have additional benefits in heart failure and stroke prevention. Common side effects can include dizziness, fatigue, and gastrointestinal disturbances, while serious adverse effects may involve renal impairment or hyperkalemia. As with any medication, it is essential to use Losartan Potassium under medical supervision, considering potential interactions with other drugs and individual patient health profiles.
