losartan and Muscle Relaxation

losartan has been researched along with Muscle Relaxation in 10 studies

Losartan: An antagonist of ANGIOTENSIN TYPE 1 RECEPTOR with antihypertensive activity due to the reduced pressor effect of ANGIOTENSIN II.
losartan : A biphenylyltetrazole where a 1,1'-biphenyl group is attached at the 5-position and has an additional trisubstituted imidazol-1-ylmethyl group at the 4'-position

Muscle Relaxation: That phase of a muscle twitch during which a muscle returns to a resting position.
