Does cozaar make effect on kidney?

Cozaar, or losartan, is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) commonly used to treat high blood pressure and reduce the risk of stroke. It can have a protective effect on the kidneys, particularly in patients with Diabetes or chronic kidney disease, by lowering blood pressure and reducing proteinuria. However, it may also cause changes in kidney function, especially when starting the medication or increasing the dose, so monitoring kidney function is essential during treatment. Always consult a healthcare provider for personalized medical advice.
