Cozartan
COZARTAN belongs to the angiotensin II receptor blocker class of medications, which are used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and reduce the risk of stroke in persons who have heart disease. Hypertension is a medical disease in which blood pressure in the arteries is consistently raised (140/90). Heart failure is a long-term condition in which the heart can’t pump blood as efficiently as it should.
COZARTAN works by preventing blood vessels from narrowing and thereby decreasing blood pressure and improving overall blood flow by blocking the activity of a hormone called angiotensin II. In addition, if you have both renal disease and diabetes, it preserves your kidneys.
COZARTAN should be taken every day at the same time, regardless of food, and swallowed whole with a glass of water. It should not be crushed, chewed, or broken. Based on your medical condition, your doctor will tell you how many dosages you should take. Dizziness, weariness, low blood pressure, weakness, anemia (lack of blood), hyperkaliemia (high potassium levels in the blood), alteration in renal function, orthostatic hypotension (low blood pressure after rising up from a laying or sitting position), or hypoglycemia are all possible side effects (low blood sugar). The majority of COZARTAN adverse effects do not require medical care and fade away with time. If the adverse effects do not go away, please see your doctor.
Please inform your doctor if you are allergic to COZARTAN or any other medications. It is recommended that you finish the entire term of COZARTAN and do not stop taking it suddenly because this may create recurrent symptoms or worsen the disease. COZARTAN is not suggested for pregnant women, nursing mothers, or children under the age of six. If you use COZARTAN with alcohol, you run the risk of developing low blood pressure. Potassium supplements should be avoided when taking COZARTAN since they can cause elevated potassium levels in the blood.
COZARTAN TABLET is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and to prevent heart failure.
Medicinal Advantages
COZARTAN is a drug that is used to treat and prevent excessive blood pressure and heart failure. COZARTAN is an angiotensin II receptor blocker that inhibits the activity of angiotensin II, a hormone that causes blood vessel narrowing and high blood pressure. As a result, high blood pressure is reduced by expanding and relaxing blood vessels.
Use Instructions
COZARTAN should only be taken if a doctor has recommended it. COZARTAN should be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor. On the basis of your medical condition, your doctor will advise you on how often you should take your medications. For best effects, take COZARTAN with a glass of water every day at the same time, regardless of food. It should not be crushed, chewed, or broken.
Storage
Store in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight.

The majority of COZARTAN adverse effects do not require medical care and fade away with time. If the adverse effects do not go away, please see your doctor.

Glossary of Diseases and Conditions
Hypertension (high blood pressure) is a medical disease in which blood pressure in the arteries remains consistently higher. Obesity, diabetes, smoking, a high salt diet, stress, a lack of physical activity, or age are the most common causes of high blood pressure. The normal blood pressure range is 90/60 mmHg to 120/80 mmHg. High blood pressure is defined as a blood pressure reading of 140/90 mmHg or higher. It can lead to heart disease and stroke if left untreated. Heart failure is a long-term condition in which the heart can’t pump blood as efficiently as it should. Heart failure can be caused by excessive blood pressure, heart muscle enlargement or injury, malfunctioning heart valves, or narrowed arteries in the heart. Tiredness, shortness of breath, a fast heartbeat, and swelling legs are all signs of heart failure.
