What is Coozar?

Coozar is a prescription medication used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and reduce the risk of cardiovascular events such as stroke and heart attack. It contains the active ingredient Losartan Potassium, which belongs to a class of drugs known as Angiotensin II Receptor Blockers (ARBs).
