警告：
胚胎毒性请参阅完整的黑框警告完整的处方信息。
当检测妊娠，尽快终止氯沙坦钾。这直接作用于肾素 - 血管紧张素系统的药物可引起伤害和死亡给发育中的胎儿。
作用机理
血管紧张素II [由血管紧张素I在血管紧张素转换酶（ACE，激肽酶Ⅱ）催化的反应形成〕是一种强力的血管收缩剂，肾素 - 血管紧张素系统的主要血管活性激素，和高血压的病理生理学的重要组成部分。此外，它由肾上腺皮质刺激醛固酮分泌。氯沙坦，其主要活性代谢物通过选择性地阻断血管紧张素II在许多组织中发现的AT1受体（例如，血管平滑肌，肾上腺）的结合阻断血管紧张素II的血管收缩和醛固酮分泌作用。也有在许多组织中发现的AT 2受体，但它不是已知与心血管稳态相关联。无论是氯沙坦还是其主要活性代谢产物表现出在AT1受体的部分激动剂活动，且均具有更大的亲和力（约1000倍）的AT1受体比对AT2受体。在体外结合研究表明，氯沙坦是AT1受体的可逆，竞争性抑制剂。活性代谢物是10至40倍黑莓效按重量比洛沙坦和显示是AT1受体的可逆的，非竞争性抑制剂。
既不氯沙坦或其活性代谢物抑制ACE（激肽酶II，即转换血管紧张素I向血管紧张素II和降解缓激肽酶），它们也不结合或阻止其他激素受体或已知可用于心血管调节重要的离子通道。

Losartan (Losartan Potassium)
Losartan (Losartan Potassium) is used in the treatment of high blood pressure. It is effective when used alone or with other high blood pressure medications. It works by preventing the action of a hormone in the body called angiotensin II. This drug blocks the receptors that angiotensin II acts on, and so prevents its actions.
Uses
Losartan (Losartan Potassium) is used in the treatment of high blood pressure. It is effective when used alone or with other high blood pressure medications, such as diuretics that help the body get rid of water.

This drug blocks the receptors that angiotensin II acts on, and so prevents its actions. The main result of this is that the peripheral blood vessels are allowed to widen, which means that there is more space and less resistance in these blood vessels. This is the main mechanism by which the pressure in the blood vessels is lowered.
