Product Benefits
| Core Benefit | Mechanism |
| Effective Blood Pressure Control | By blocking the effects of Angiotensin $\text{II}$, it promotes vasodilation and reduces overall peripheral resistance, providing sustained $24\text{-hour}$ control of high blood pressure. |
| Protects the Kidneys | It is uniquely beneficial in patients with Type 2 Diabetes and hypertension as it is proven to slow the progression of kidney damage (nephropathy) by reducing pressure within the glomeruli. |
| Reduces Stroke Risk | In addition to general $\text{BP}$ lowering, Losartan is specifically indicated to reduce the risk of stroke in patients with hypertension and left ventricular hypertrophy ($\text{LVH}$). |
| Lower Risk of Cough | Unlike $\text{ACE}$ inhibitors, Losartan does not interfere with the breakdown of bradykinin, resulting in a significantly lower incidence of the common dry cough side effect. |
