Losartan is primarily an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) used to treat high blood pressure and heart failure. Its main function is to relax blood vessels, which can help reduce blood pressure. While losartan can lead to a decrease in blood pressure, it does not directly lower heart rate.
However, in some individuals, as blood pressure decreases, the heart may not have to work as hard, which could lead to a reduction in heart rate. This effect can vary from person to person and is generally not the primary action of the medication.
If you have concerns about your heart rate or the effects of losartan, it’s best to discuss these with your healthcare provider. They can provide personalized information based on your health status and treatment plan.
