Losartan Tablets belong to the Angiotensin-II Receptor Blockers group of medicines. They work by preventing Angiotensin-II, a substance that tightens blood vessels and raises blood pressure, from attaching to receptors. This action helps blood vessels relax, lowering blood pressure. For people with high blood pressure and Type 2 diabetes, Losartan also slows kidney function decline.
