RESERT 50mg

• Resert contains Losartan as an active ingredient which belongs to a group of medicines known as angiotensin-II receptor antagonists.
• It works by blocking the hormone angiotensin thereby relaxing blood vessels, allowing the blood to flow more smoothly and the heart to pump more efficiently.
• Angiotensin II is a chemical in your body, which tightens your blood vessels making it harder for the blood to pass through them and causes your blood pressure to increase.
• Resert blocks this effect, causing the blood vessels to relax and so lowers your blood pressure.

This is used for:

• to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) in adults and in children and adolescents 6- 18 years of age
• to protect the kidney in hypertensive type 2 diabetic patients with laboratory evidence of impaired renal function and proteinuria ≥ 0.5mg per day (a condition in which urine contains an abnormal amount of protein)
• to reduce the risk of stroke in hypertension with left ventricular hypertrophy (thickening of the heart muscle)
• to treat chronic heart failure when treatment with ACE inhibitors (angiotensin- converting enzyme inhibitors – also used to lower blood pressure) is not considered suitable by your doctor.
