Zaart 100 mg Tablet

Zaart 100 mg Tablet is a prescription medicine that contains 100 mg of losartan in each tablet. It belongs to a class called angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs). Zaart 100 mg Tablet is used to help lower high blood pressure and may also be used to protect the kidneys in some people with diabetes and to help reduce the risk of stroke in certain patients with high blood pressure and left ventricular hypertrophy.

How it works: Losartan works by blocking angiotensin II, a natural substance that tightens blood vessels. By relaxing blood vessels, this tablet helps blood flow more easily and lowers blood pressure.

Zaart 100 mg Tablet is a higher-strength losartan tablet, so it is typically used when a doctor has decided that 100 mg is the right dose for an individual patient. Compared with lower-strength losartan tablets, this form provides the full 100 mg dose in one tablet, which can simplify once-daily treatment for some adults.

• High blood pressure
• Kidney protection in some patients with type 2 diabetes
• Reducing stroke risk in selected patients with hypertension and left ventricular hypertrophy
• Other doctor-directed cardiovascular uses

• Swallow Zaart 100 mg Tablet whole with water.
• Take it exactly as prescribed, at the same time each day if possible.
• You may take it with or without food.
• Do not split, crush, or chew unless your doctor or pharmacist says it is appropriate.
• Keep taking it even if you feel well, because high blood pressure often has no symptoms.

Each Zaart 100 mg Tablet provides 100 mg of losartan, which is a higher adult dose and is not a starting dose for many patients. Depending on the reason it is prescribed, it may be taken once daily and the maximum usual total dose is 100 mg per day unless your doctor gives different instructions.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
