Losartan (50mg) + Hydrochlorothiazide (12.5mg)

Overview Losar-H Tablet

Losar-H Tablet combines two active ingredients to manage hypertension through complementary mechanisms. Untreated high blood pressure significantly increases the risk of serious complications like heart attacks, strokes, and kidney disease. Losar-H can be taken with or without food; dosage is individualized based on your health and response. Consistent daily timing is crucial for efficacy. Continue taking this medication as directed by your physician. Because it includes a diuretic, increased urination is expected; therefore, avoid taking it within four hours of bedtime. Regular use, even when feeling well, is essential as high blood pressure often presents without symptoms. Discontinuing treatment raises the risk of stroke or heart attack. While dizziness is the most common side effect, others may include fatigue, nausea, diarrhea, headache, and hypotension. Increased urination is a desired effect of the hydrochlorothiazide component, aiding blood pressure control, not an adverse reaction. Less frequent side effects are also possible. Consult the accompanying patient information leaflet and inform your doctor of any persistent or bothersome side effects; dosage adjustments or alternative treatments may be considered. This medication is contraindicated during pregnancy and requires physician consultation if you have pre-existing kidney or liver disease, cardiac issues, or diabetes. Alcohol consumption may exacerbate hypotension and increase side effect likelihood.
