Brand name:
Losgard
Pronounced: Los- ga-rt
Generic name: Losgard
Why is Losgard prescribed?
Losgard is used in the treatment of high blood pressure. It is effective
when used alone or with other high blood pressure medications, such
as diuretics that help the body get rid of water.
Losgard is also used to slow the progress of kidney disease caused
by type 2 diabetes (the type of diabetes that doesn't require insulin
shots). It is the first of a new class of blood pressure medications
called angiotensin II receptor antagonists. Losgard works, in part,
by preventing the hormone angiotensin II from constricting the blood
vessels, which tends to raise blood pressure.
Most important fact about Losgard
You must take Losgard regularly for it to be effective. Since blood
pressure declines gradually, it may be several weeks before you get
the full benefit of Losgard, and you must continue taking it even if
you are feeling well. Losgard does not cure high blood pressure; it
merely keeps it under control.
How should you take Losgard?
Losgard can be taken with or without food.
Take it at the same time each day. For example, if you take the medication
every morning before or after breakfast, you will establish a regular
routine and be less likely to forget your dose.
Why should Losgard not be prescribed?
Do not take Losgard when you are pregnant. Avoid it if you have ever
h
ad an allergic reaction to it.
