Ostan Tablet 25 mg contains Losartan Potassium, an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) used primarily to manage hypertension (high blood pressure) and protect the kidneys in patients with type 2 diabetes. By lowering elevated blood pressure, Ostan Tablet helps reduce the risk of serious cardiovascular events, such as heart attack, stroke, and heart failure.

Losartan works by selectively blocking angiotensin II receptors in blood vessels. Angiotensin II is a natural chemical in the body that causes blood vessels to constrict, raising blood pressure. By inhibiting its action, Losartan relaxes blood vessels, improves blood flow, and lowers blood pressure. Additionally, it reduces the workload on the heart and provides protective effects for the kidneys in patients at risk of diabetic nephropathy.

Ostan Tablet 25 mg offers an effective and convenient oral therapy option for adults and the elderly, promoting long-term cardiovascular health. Its once-daily dosing helps ensure better patient compliance, making it a reliable choice in the management of chronic conditions.

Key Features

• Contains Losartan Potassium 25 mg per tablet

• Angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB)

• Helps lower high blood pressure (hypertension)

• Provides kidney protection in type 2 diabetes patients

• Reduces risk of heart attack, stroke, and heart failure

• Convenient oral tablet for once-daily administration

Indications

Ostan Tablet 25 mg is prescribed for:

• Hypertension: Helps reduce elevated blood pressure and prevent complications such as stroke, heart attack, and heart failure.

• Diabetic nephropathy: Protects kidney function in type 2 diabetes patients with proteinuria (excess protein in urine).

• Heart failure: Sometimes used as part of therapy to improve heart function and reduce symptoms.

• Post-heart attack therapy: May be prescribed to improve survival in patients after a myocardial infarction (depending on clinical evaluation).

This medicine is used under the guidance of a physician and is most effective when combined with a healthy lifestyle, including diet modification, regular exercise, and weight management.

Mechanism of Action

Losartan Potassium works by blocking the binding of angiotensin II to the AT1 receptor. Angiotensin II normally causes blood vessels to constrict, increases blood volume by stimulating aldosterone secretion, and promotes sodium retention. By blocking these effects:

• Blood vessels dilate

• Blood pressure decreases

• Kidneys are protected from high pressure-induced damage

• Heart workload is reduced

This mechanism helps lower blood pressure and prevent complications associated with chronic hypertension and cardiovascular stress.

Dosage and Administration

• Typically administered once daily, with or without food

• Adults usually start with 25 mg once daily; the dose may be adjusted according to blood pressure response

• Tablets should be swallowed whole with water

• Consistent daily use is important for optimal blood pressure control

Possible Side Effects

Ostan Tablet 25 mg is generally well tolerated, but some patients may experience:

• Dizziness or lightheadedness, especially when standing
