What are Losartan and Methotrexate used for?

  1. Hypertension & Hyperlipidemia
  2. Hypertension & Diabetes
  3. Hypertension & Rheumatoid Arthritis
  4. Atrial fibrillation & Cancer
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: C. Hypertension & Rheumatoid Arthritis

LOSARTAN is an ANGIOTENSIN RECEPTOR BLOCKER (ARB) used for HYPERTENSION (and also protects kidneys in diabetic nephropathy). METHOTREXATE is a DMARD (Disease-Modifying Anti-Rheumatic Drug) used for RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS, psoriasis, and certain cancers (as an antimetabolite/folate antagonist). Together: Hypertension + Rheumatoid Arthritis. In the context of the question (patient with elevated BP and HbA1c), Losartan could also be for diabetic nephropathy, but Methotrexate is for RA, not diabetes. C is most accurate.
