Prosan® (Losartan Potassium) is an angiotensin-II receptor (type AT1) antagonist. Angiotensin-II is a potent vasoconstrictor, the primary vasoactive hormone of the renin-angiotensin system and an important component in the pathophysiology of hypertension. Losartan and its principal active metabolite block the vasoconstrictor and aldosterone secreting effects of angiotensin-II by selectively blocking the binding of angiotensin-II to the AT1 receptor found in many tissues. It is indicated for the treatment of hypertension. It may be used alone or in combination with other antihypertensive agents.
