Cozaar or losartan potassium is used to treat hypertension. Hypertension is caused due to high blood pressure. When the blood vessels constrict due to cholesterol or other reasons, the blood cannot flow normally through the arteries and veins. This creates a high blood pressure and this causes the heart to beat unevenly as well. Cozaar helps the blood vessels to relax and allows more space for the blood to flow. Cozaar belongs to the class of angiotensinII receptor antagonists. In this case insulin shots cannot work wonders. It can be used in conjunction with other high blood pressure medication as well as diuretics.
High blood pressure is seen to cause severe damage not only to the heart but also to the kidney. That is why diuretics are seen to work better with cozaar. Diuretics are drugs which help the body to get rid of extra water and maintain the necessary balance for the kidney's proper functioning. Cozaar is very effective in the controlling of blood pressure but you must take necessary precautions. Cozaar is said to induce a low pressure and light headedness in the initial stages. You need not worry about it. With the completion of the dosage these problems will decrease.
