What is Repace 100mg used for?
Repace 100mg contains Losartan potassium 100mg, an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB). It is prescribed for adults with hypertension that has not been adequately controlled with lower doses of 25mg or 50mg, and for adults with type 2 diabetes and hypertension to reduce the risk of stroke and slow the progression of diabetic nephropathy (kidney disease).
How does Losartan in Repace 100mg work?
Losartan blocks the AT1 receptor for angiotensin II, preventing the hormone from causing blood vessel constriction and Sodiumium retention. This lowers blood pressure by reducing vascular resistance. Unlike ACE inhibitors, Losartan does not inhibit the breakdown of bradykinin, so it does not cause the persistent dry cough that is a common reason patients discontinue ACE inhibitors.
What is the correct dose of Repace 100mg?
The 100mg dose of Losartan is the maximum approved daily dose for hypertension. It is taken once daily. Patients typically start on 25mg or 50mg daily and are increased to 100mg if blood pressure remains above target after four to six weeks. For diabetic nephropathy, 100mg once daily is the dose used in clinical trials demonstrating renoprotective benefit.
Is Repace 100mg taken once or twice daily?
Repace 100mg is taken once daily. Losartan has a sufficiently long duration of action to provide 24-hour blood pressure control with once-daily dosing. It can be taken with or without food, at the same time each day. Morning dosing is most common, but some patients prefer evening dosing — consistency is more important than the specific time chosen.
Is Repace 100mg safe for patients with kidney disease?
Losartan at 100mg is evidence-based therapy for diabetic nephropathy — the RENAAL trial showed a 28% reduction in risk of doubling of serum creatinine and 20% reduction in end-stage renal disease with Losartan 100mg in type 2 diabetic patients. It is suitable in non-dialysis CKD. However, regular monitoring of creatinine and potassium is essential, and dose adjustment may be needed in advanced CKD.
Can Repace 100mg be taken with amlodipine?
Yes. Repace 100mg and Amlodipine are commonly combined in clinical practice for hypertension. They work through complementary mechanisms — Losartan blocks the RAAS pathway while Amlodipine dilates peripheral vessels through calcium channel blockade. The combination provides additive blood pressure reduction. This is a very well-established and safe antihypertensive combination endorsed by international guidelines.
What is the difference between Repace 100mg and Cozaar 100mg?
Repace 100mg and Cozaar 100mg both contain Losartan potassium 100mg. Cozaar is the Merck originator brand sold at a premium in the USA and Europe. Repace, manufactured in India, is the generic equivalent available at AllDayChemist at a significantly lower price. Both provide identical blood pressure lowering, renal protection, and stroke risk reduction in hypertensive patients.
Is generic Losartan 100mg as effective as brand Cozaar?
Yes. Generic Losartan 100mg has been shown to be bioequivalent to Cozaar in regulatory studies. The extensive evidence base for Losartan — from the LIFE trial (stroke reduction) to the RENAAL trial (renal protection) — applies equally to the generic, as the active molecule is identical. Millions of patients worldwide use generic Losartan with the same outcomes as Cozaar.

What side effects does Repace 100mg cause?
Repace 100mg (Losartan 100mg) is generally well tolerated. Side effects are uncommon but include dizziness, fatigue, hyperkalemia (elevated potassium), and mildly elevated creatinine. Unlike ACE inhibitors, Losartan rarely causes cough or angioedema (though angioedema can occur). A rare but serious adverse effect is a drop in blood pressure in volume-depleted patients after the first dose.
What precautions apply to Repace 100mg?
Do not use Repace 100mg during pregnancy — Losartan is teratogenic in the second and third trimesters. Do not combine with ACE inhibitors or aliskiren (in diabetes/CKD) due to dual RAAS blockade risks. Avoid regular NSAIDs as they reduce Losartan's antihypertensive effect and worsen kidney function. Monitor potassium — do not use potassium supplements without medical guidance. Check creatinine and eGFR at least twice yearly.
