Directly from the official medicines-agency registers that list Losartan: AEMPS CIMA (Spain), Läkemedelsverket (Sweden). Every row on this page links to the official register it comes from (to the record itself where the register has a page for each record), and the day each register was read is shown on this page. Names appear as each register spells them, so the same substance can also appear under another spelling on a separate page.
