Losartan and losartan potassium are the same medication. Losartan potassium is the active ingredient in the medication, while Losartan is the generic name of the drug.
Losartan hydrochlorothiazide is a combination medication that includes losartan, an angiotensin II receptor antagonist, and hydrochlorothiazide, a thiazide diuretic. It is primarily used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and can help reduce the risk of stroke in patients with high blood pressure and left ventricular hypertrophy. The combination works by relaxing blood vessels and promoting the excretion of excess fluid, thereby lowering blood pressure.
There are no statins in losartan. Losartan purely lowers blood pressure, not cholesterol.
No, losartan potassium is not a beta blocker. It is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) used to treat high blood pressure, heart failure, and other conditions related to the cardiovascular system. Beta blockers work differently by blocking the action of adrenaline on beta receptors in the body.
