Cozaar, known generically as Losartan, belongs to a class of medications called angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs), which work by relaxing blood vessels to lower blood pressure and improve blood flow. The primary therapeutic value of losartan for blood pressure and kidney protection is particularly significant in patients with type 2 diabetes and proteinuria, as it not only helps manage hypertension but also reduces the rate of progression of diabetic nephropathy by decreasing pressure within the kidneys' filtering units.
