Abstract: The field of the present invention is that of oral pharmaceutical forms of losartan, and also treatments and administration methods relating thereto. The invention relates to the use, in an oral pharmaceutical form comprising losartan, of a coating or matrix including said losartan and allowing controlled release of said losartan, such that this form orally administered to a sample of individuals leads, irrespective of the fed or fasted state of the individuals, to a reduction of the interindividual standard deviation of the Cmax, which ensures lower variability of the efficacy and of the therapeutic safety of the pharmaceutical form relative to an immediate-release pharmaceutical form of losartan administered to this same sample of individuals, at the same dose. Another aim of the invention is to provide an oral pharmaceutical form of losartan that can be administered once a day and that is just as effective as the “one dose intake per day” forms and the “two dose intakes per day” forms.
