Losartan is a selective, competitive angiotensin II receptor type 1 (AT1) antagonist. Losartant is recommended as one of several preferred agents for the initial management of hypertension. Administration of losartan reduces the risk of stroke in patients with hypertension and left ventricular hypertrophy. Losartan is indicated for the treatment of diabetic nephropathy with an elevated serum creatinine and proteinuria in patients with type 2 diabetes and a history of hypertension.

Approved Use

Angiotensin II receptor antagonists are recommended as one of several preferred agents for the initial management of hypertension; other options include ACE inhibitors, calcium-channel blockers, and thiazide diuretics. While there may be individual differences with respect to specific outcomes, these antihypertensive drug classes all produce comparable effects on overall mortality and cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, and renal outcomes. Individualize choice of therapy; consider patient characteristics (e.g., age, ethnicity/race, comorbidities, cardiovascular risk) as well as drug-related factors (e.g., ease of administration, availability, adverse effects, cost).

COZAAR

Approved Use

Preliminary evidence suggests that aspirin therapy at baseline in patients receiving losartan may reduce the risk of combined cardiovascular death, stroke, and acute MI compared with aspirin therapy at baseline in patients receiving atenolol, but there is evidence that this benefit does not apply to Black patients.

Approved Use

Management of diabetic nephropathy manifested by elevated Scr and proteinuria (urinary albumin to creatinine ratio ≥300 mg/g) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and hypertension.

Launch Date

Primary
COZAAR

Approved Use

Angiotensin II receptor antagonists are considered a reasonable alternative for inhibition of the renin-angiotensin system in patients with heart failure and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) who are intolerant of ACE inhibitors; because of their established benefits, ACE inhibitors are preferred.

Sample Use Guides

For treatment of hypertension, Joint National Committee (JNC) 8 expert panel recommends initial dosage of 50 mg daily and target dosage of 100 mg daily (given in 1 dose or 2 divided doses) based on dosages used in randomized controlled studies.
Route of Administration: Oral
From 30 to 40 min after confirmation of endothelium removal, the test compounds were incubated at a concentration of 0.1 uM. After an incubation period of 20 or 60 min, aortic preparations were treated with AII, using 3-fold increasing concentrations from 0.1 nM to 1 uM. Kb for binding with angiotensin receptor was 4 nM with 20 min incubation, and 9 nM with 60 min incubation.
