Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Bayview Pharmacy is proud to offer a compounded formulation of Losartan Potassium 10 mg/ml Oral Suspension (Vet) for the treatment of various disease states in animals. This includes conditions such as hypertension, heart failure, diabetic nephropathy, renovascular hypertension, and chronic kidney disease. This liquid dosage form ensures that one or more ingredients are uniformly dispersed throughout a liquid medium, providing a homogeneous mixture for easy and effective administration.

Losartan Potassium is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that functions by inhibiting the action of angiotensin II, a hormone that causes blood vessels to constrict. By blocking this hormone, Losartan Potassium aids in relaxing the blood vessels, which in turn improves blood flow and reduces blood pressure. This is particularly beneficial for patients suffering from heart failure, as it helps to decrease the strain on the heart and enhances its ability to pump blood efficiently.

Furthermore, Losartan Potassium can also help to mitigate the risk of diabetic nephropathy, renovascular hypertension, and chronic kidney disease. It does this by improving kidney function and reducing proteinuria, a common symptom of these conditions. This makes it a versatile and effective treatment option for a range of health issues.

At Bayview Pharmacy, we are dedicated to providing our patients with the highest standard of care. If you have any queries about our Losartan Potassium 10 mg/ml Oral Suspension (Vet) or any of our other compounded formulations, please feel free to contact us.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Losartan Potassium 10 mg/ml Oral Suspension (Vet) is a compounded medication that is primarily used in the treatment of various conditions such as hypertension, heart failure, diabetic nephropathy, renovascular hypertension, and chronic kidney disease. This medication functions by inhibiting the action of certain natural substances in the body that cause blood vessels to constrict, thereby lowering blood pressure. It also aids in reducing the volume of fluid in the body, which can alleviate the strain on the heart and improve symptoms of heart failure.

In the case of diabetic nephropathy, losartan potassium assists in decreasing the amount of protein present in the urine, which can aid in slowing the progression of the disease. For patients with renovascular hypertension, losartan potassium helps to lessen the narrowing of the arteries, which can contribute to a reduction in blood pressure. In patients suffering from chronic kidney disease, losartan potassium aids in reducing the amount of protein in the urine, which can help slow the progression of the disease.

Losartan potassium is administered orally, typically once or twice daily. It is crucial to take this medication exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider.
