The active ingredient in Icosar 25 MG Tablet 10 is losartan (25 mg). The action of this medicine on the body can be summarised as follows:

• Angiotensin II Blocker: Losartan works by blocking the action of a chemical in your body called angiotensin II. Normally, this chemical causes your blood vessels to narrow, increasing blood pressure.

• Vessel Relaxation: Losartan blocks angiotensin II, helping your blood vessels relax and widen. This makes it easier for your heart to pump blood throughout your body.

• Reduction in Heart Workload: Relaxed and widened blood vessels make the heart work less hard to pump blood, reducing blood pressure and straining the heart.
