Repace 50 is a medication containing Losartan Potassium 50 mg, classified as an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB). It is primarily used to manage high blood pressure (hypertension) and to provide kidney protection in individuals with type 2 diabetes and proteinuria (excessive protein in urine).
Main Uses:
- Hypertension (High Blood Pressure): Repace 50 helps lower blood pressure, reducing the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and kidney problems.
- Kidney Protection in Type 2 Diabetes: It is used to protect the kidneys in diabetic patients with proteinuria, delaying the progression of kidney disease.
How It Works: Losartan blocks the action of angiotensin II, a hormone that narrows blood vessels. By inhibiting this action, Repace 50 helps relax blood vessels, lowering blood pressure and reducing strain on the heart and kidneys.
Dosage and Administration:
- Typical Dosage: The usual starting dose is 50 mg once daily. Depending on individual response, the dose may be adjusted.
- Administration: Take orally with or without food, preferably at the same time each day.
- Missed Dose: If a dose is missed, take it as soon as remembered, unless it’s close to the time for the next dose. Do not double the dose.
Precautions:
- Pregnancy: Not recommended during pregnancy. Consult a doctor if pregnancy is planned or suspected.
- Kidney or Liver Disease: Use with caution in patients with kidney or liver problems.
- Allergy: Do not use if allergic to losartan or any components of the tablet.
- Drug Interactions: Inform your doctor about all other medications being taken, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements.
