Xavor Tablets – Effective Blood Pressure Management

Xavor Tablets 50mg contain Losartan Potassium, a medication used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). It works by blocking the effects of angiotensin II, a substance in the body that causes blood vessels to constrict, thus helping to relax and widen blood vessels. This reduces blood pressure and helps the heart pump more efficiently, lowering the risk of stroke and heart disease.

How Xavor Tablets Work

Losartan Potassium, the active ingredient in Xavor Tablets, is part of a group of medications called angiotensin II receptor antagonists. It works by blocking the binding of angiotensin II to its receptor (AT1), which is present in various tissues including vascular smooth muscles and the adrenal glands. This action prevents the vasoconstrictor and aldosterone-secreting effects of angiotensin II, ultimately reducing blood pressure.

Dosage and Usage
Xavor Tablets are typically taken once a day, with or without food. The usual dose for managing hypertension is 50mg, but your doctor may adjust the dosage based on your condition and response to the treatment. Always follow the instructions provided by your healthcare provider and take the medicine as prescribed.

Side Effects and Precautions

• Common Side Effects: Dizziness, low blood pressure, headache, tiredness, and nausea.

• Serious Side Effects: Swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat (allergic reaction), muscle weakness, chest pain, or elevated potassium levels.

• Precautions:

  • Liver function: People with liver impairment should take a lower dose of Xavor.

  • Kidney function: Regular monitoring of kidney function is recommended as Xavor can affect kidney performance, especially in individuals with pre-existing conditions.

  • Pregnancy and breastfeeding: Consult a doctor before use if pregnant or breastfeeding, as Losartan may not be safe during pregnancy.

Warnings

• Electrolyte imbalances: Care should be taken when using potassium supplements, as Xavor can increase potassium levels in the blood.
