Losartan is a medication that is prescribed to treat diabetic nephropathy and high blood pressure. While the medicine can control these conditions, it cannot cure them. The drug works by decreasing the effectiveness of a certain chemical in the body; this causes the blood vessels to relax, which can result in lower blood pressure. The drug comes in tablet form and is available in several strengths, including losartan 25 mg, 50 mg, and 100 mg.
