Losart is indicated for:
- Treatment of essential hypertension in adults and children and adolescents aged 6 to 18 years.
- Treatment of renal disease in adult patients with type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and proteinuria ≥ 0.5 g/day, as part of an antihypertensive treatment regimen (see sections 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, and 5.1).

Patients must have a left ventricular ejection fraction ≤ 40% and must be clinically stabilized and under regular treatment for chronic heart failure.
- Furthermore, Losar is indicated for the reduction of the risk of stroke in hypertensive adult patients with left ventricular hypertrophy on electrocardiogram (see section 5.1: LIFE study, ethnic characteristics).
