Losartan (50mg) + Hydrochlorothiazide (12.5mg)

Overview Losa H 50mg/12.5mg Tablet

Losa H 50mg/12.5mg tablets combine two medications to effectively manage hypertension through complementary mechanisms. Untreated high blood pressure significantly increases the risk of serious complications such as stroke, heart attack, and kidney disease. This medication can be taken with or without food, with dosage tailored to individual needs and response. Consistent daily dosing is crucial for optimal effect; continue taking it as prescribed by your physician. Because it includes a diuretic, increasing urination, avoid taking it within four hours of bedtime. Regular use is vital, even when feeling well, as hypertension often lacks noticeable symptoms. Discontinuing treatment elevates the risk of cardiovascular events. Dizziness is the most prevalent side effect, while fatigue, nausea, diarrhea, headache, and hypotension may also occur. Increased urination is an intended effect of the hydrochlorothiazide component, contributing to blood pressure control, not a side effect. Although rare, other side effects are possible. Always consult the patient information leaflet and report any concerning or persistent side effects to your doctor; dosage adjustment or alternative treatment may be considered. This medication is contraindicated during pregnancy and should be discussed with your doctor if you have pre-existing kidney, liver, heart, or diabetic conditions. Alcohol consumption may potentiate the blood pressure-lowering effect and increase the likelihood of adverse reactions.
