Cozartan 100 mg Tablet

Cozartan 100 mg Tablet is a prescription medicine that contains 100 mg of losartan in each tablet. Losartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) used to help lower high blood pressure, protect the kidneys in some people with diabetes, and reduce stroke risk in certain patients with hypertension and left ventricular hypertrophy. This medicine is manufactured by Healing Pharma India Pvt. Ltd. and is supplied as a strip/box of 10 tablets.

How it works: Cozartan 100 mg Tablet works by blocking angiotensin II, a chemical that tightens blood vessels. By relaxing blood vessels, this losartan tablet helps blood flow more easily and can lower blood pressure over time.

Cozartan 100 mg Tablet is the higher tablet strength in this brand range, alongside Cozartan 25 mg Tablet and Cozartan 50 mg Tablet. It may be chosen for people who need a stronger losartan dose after a doctor reviews their blood pressure response, kidney status, and overall treatment plan. Because it delivers 100 mg in one tablet, it is not the same as starting on a lower strength, and it may be used when a doctor wants the full usual daily dose in a single tablet.
