What Are The Various Losartan Trade Names?
Question: Hi, Doctor,
I am looking at the Losartan page (it is prescribed for me) to see what other names it may be sold under, and to check out the mechanism of action and side effects. The term AUC or AUCs appears about a dozen times on the page, but the acronym is not explained. Please explain, and also, what other name is Losartan sold under (if at all)? Thank you!
