   Cozaar tablets contain the active ingredient losartan potassium,
    which is a type of medicine called an angiotensin II antagonist. It
    works by preventing the action of a hormone in the body called
    angiotensin II.

   Angiotensin II normally acts on special receptors in the body, with
    two main results.

   Firstly, it causes the peripheral blood vessels to narrow, and
    secondly, it stimulates the production of another hormone called
    aldosterone.

   Aldosterone causes salt and water to be retained by the kidneys,
    which increases the volume of fluid in the blood vessels.
For the treatment of high
blood pressure, most
patients start with a daily
dose of 50 mg of Cozaar
and will typically need a
final Cozaar of 25 mg to
100 mg per day, taken in
either one dose or two
smaller doses. Children
who are being treated for
high blood pressure
typically start with a
dosage of 0.7 mg per
kilogram of body weight
once daily.
There are a number of important Cozaar precautions and warnings to
be aware of, including possible side effects that may develop and
existing medical conditions that you should tell your healthcare provider
about. Cozaar can cause side effects such as a decrease in kidney
function or extremely low blood pressure, among other things. Before
starting the medicine, be sure to let your healthcare provider know if
you have heart disease, liver disease, diabetes, or kidney disease. Do
not take Cozaar if you are allergic to any components of the medication.
