Product Overview

Repace Tablet contains Losartan Potassium, a medicine belonging to the angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) class. It is primarily used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). By lowering blood pressure, Losartan helps reduce the strain placed on the heart and blood vessels.

Losartan works by blocking the action of angiotensin II, a naturally occurring substance that causes blood vessels to narrow and contributes to increased blood pressure. When the action of angiotensin II is blocked, blood vessels can relax and widen, allowing blood to flow more easily and helping reduce blood pressure.

Losartan also has specific uses in patients with hypertension and left ventricular hypertrophy, where it is indicated to reduce the risk of stroke, and in certain patients with type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and diabetic nephropathy.

Treatment with Losartan may require monitoring of blood pressure, kidney function, and potassium levels, particularly in people who have kidney problems or are taking medicines that can increase potassium.

How Repace Tablet Works
Losartan selectively blocks the AT1 receptor, preventing angiotensin II from producing its usual effects on blood vessels.

This helps:

Relax and widen blood vessels
Reduce resistance to blood flow
Lower blood pressure
Reduce the workload on the cardiovascular system
Reduce certain effects of excessive angiotensin II activity
Losartan does not work by directly slowing the heart rate. Its main action is through the renin-angiotensin system that regulates blood pressure.

Precaution

Pregnancy

Losartan should not be used during pregnancy. Medicines that act directly on the renin-angiotensin system can cause serious fetal harm or death. Contact a healthcare professional immediately if pregnancy occurs while taking Losartan.

Kidney Function

Tell your healthcare professional if you have kidney disease. Losartan can affect kidney function in susceptible patients, and kidney function may need to be monitored during treatment.

Potassium Levels

Losartan can increase potassium levels in some patients. Do not use potassium supplements or potassium-containing salt substitutes unless advised by your healthcare professional.

Low Blood Pressure

Losartan can cause low blood pressure, particularly in people who are dehydrated or have low salt or fluid levels. Vomiting, diarrhea, excessive sweating, or inadequate fluid intake may increase this risk.

Liver Problems

Inform your doctor if you have liver disease. The starting dose may need to be adjusted in patients with hepatic impairment.

Diabetes

Tell your healthcare professional if you have diabetes, especially if you are taking medicines that affect the renin-angiotensin system.

Heart Conditions

Inform your doctor about any history of heart disease, heart failure, or other cardiovascular conditions before starting treatment.

Usage

Take Repace Tablet exactly as prescribed by your healthcare professional. The dose depends on the condition being treated, age, kidney and liver function, blood-pressure response, and other medicines being used.

Losartan is generally taken orally once daily, but the exact treatment schedule should follow the prescription or product instructions. It may be taken with or without food unless your healthcare professional advises otherwise.

Try to take the tablet at approximately the same time each day. Swallow it with water and do not change the prescribed dose without medical advice.

If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is almost time for your next dose. Do not take two doses together to make up for a missed dose.

Continue taking Losartan as prescribed even if you feel well, because high blood pressure may not produce noticeable symptoms.

Uses

1. High Blood Pressure

Repace Tablet is used to treat hypertension. Losartan lowers blood pressure by blocking angiotensin II and helping blood vessels relax.

2. Hypertension in Patients with Left Ventricular Hypertrophy

Losartan is indicated for patients with hypertension and left ventricular hypertrophy to reduce the risk of stroke.

3. Reduction of Stroke Risk in Certain Hypertensive Patients

In appropriate patients with hypertension and left ventricular hypertrophy, Losartan is used to reduce the risk of stroke.

4. Diabetic Nephropathy

Losartan is indicated for diabetic nephropathy in certain patients with type 2 diabetes and hypertension, particularly those with elevated serum creatinine and proteinuria.

5. Blood Pressure Control With Other Antihypertensive Medicines

Losartan may be prescribed together with other antihypertensive medicines when additional blood-pressure control is required. The combination should be determined by a healthcare professional.

Side Effects

Common or Possible Side Effects

Some people taking Losartan may experience:

Dizziness or lightheadedness
Diarrhea
Back pain
Muscle cramps or weakness
Heartburn
Tiredness or general weakness

Interactions

Potassium Supplements and Salt Substitutes

Losartan may increase potassium levels. Potassium supplements and potassium-containing salt substitutes should not be used unless recommended by a healthcare professional.

NSAIDs

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen and naproxen may interact with Losartan and can increase the risk of kidney problems or reduce its blood-pressure-lowering effect in certain patients.

Other Blood Pressure Medicines

Using Losartan with other antihypertensive medicines can produce an additional blood-pressure-lowering effect. Blood pressure may need to be monitored.

Diuretics

Diuretics can contribute to fluid or salt depletion, which may increase the risk of low blood pressure when Losartan is started or adjusted.

Lithium

Losartan may increase lithium concentrations and the risk of lithium toxicity. Patients taking lithium should inform their healthcare professional.

Aliskiren

Losartan should not be combined with aliskiren in patients with diabetes because of an increased risk of adverse effects.

Other Medicines and Supplements
