Message definition (Losartan)
Losartan is a [[uricosuric]]. As a specific inhibitor of the urate transporter 1 ([[SLC22A12]], URAT1), losartan blocks the uptake of uric acid into cells, thus leaving more available in the bloodstream to be filtered and excreted by the kidneys. Because losartan can cause [[hyperkalemia]], individuals should not use [[potassium]] supplements or salt substitutes containing potassium without appropriate monitoring by a physician.
