Cozaar is a trade name for which angiotensin II receptor blocker?

Cozaar is indeed the trade name for Losartan, which is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB). This medication is primarily used to manage hypertension and help protect the kidneys in patients with type 2 diabetes. Losartan works by blocking the action of angiotensin II, a substance in the body that causes blood vessels to constrict. By inhibiting this action, Losartan helps to relax blood vessels, lower blood pressure, and improve blood flow, which can significantly reduce the risks associated with high blood pressure, such as heart attack and stroke.

In terms of the other options, while irbesartan, olmesartan, and eprosartan are also angiotensin II receptor blockers, their trade names are not Cozaar. Understanding the specific applications and trade names of these drugs is important for both safe medication management and patient education.
