Losartan is in a class of drugs called angiotensin II receptor antagonists, that work by preventing the constriction (narrowing) of blood vessels (veins and arteries).
Losartan was the first angiotensin II receptor antagonist to be marketed. It is currently marketed by Merck & Co. under the name CozaarŪ.
