Cosart is a medication primarily used for treating hypertension, or high blood pressure. It contains Losartan potassium, which is part of a class of medications known as angiotensin-II receptor antagonists. This drug helps prevent the constriction of blood vessels, thereby enhancing blood circulation and reducing blood pressure. Additionally, it is employed to lower the risk of stroke in certain individuals with heart conditions. Another application of Losartan Potassium is to safeguard the kidneys from damage caused by diabetes.
 
Take Cosart strictly as directed by your healthcare provider or according to the instructions listed on the medication label. Do not change the dosage unless your doctor specifically advises you to do so. Furthermore, refrain from using Cosart after the recommended duration has elapsed.
 
Every medication comes with a patient information leaflet. Cosart can be administered with or without food. Always keep Cosart in a cool, dry place. It may take as long as 4 weeks of consistent use (as instructed) for Losartan Potassium to effectively control your blood pressure. You might need to continue taking this medication for several years, even if you feel well, as high blood pressure often presents no visible symptoms.
 
While using Cosart, be alert for signs of vomiting, diarrhea, or excessive sweating. These symptoms can result in severe dehydration, which could lower your blood pressure further. Low blood pressure can be a hazardous and potentially fatal condition. If you experience any of these symptoms while taking Cosart, contact your healthcare provider immediately.
 
Common side effects of Cosart include dizziness, lightheadedness, swelling in the ankles or feet, or flushing. If any of these effects persist or worsen, seek medical assistance quickly. Although serious side effects are uncommon, if you experience fast, irregular, or rapid heartbeat, fainting, or any other severe symptoms, seek medical care right away.
 
The side effects mentioned above are not exhaustive, and you may encounter additional effects from Cosart. If you notice any significant side effects from this medication, contact your healthcare provider immediately.
