How does it work?
Repace 100 contains Losartan as its active salt, an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB). It is a blood pressure-lowering medicine that prevents complications caused due to high bp. It relaxes blood vessels and lowers blood pressure by blocking a chemical. This chemical in the body makes the blood vessels tighter. Thus by blocking it, the drug improves blood flow in these vessels and reduces blood pressure. The drug allows for more efficient cardiovascular function.
