Losartas-HT Tablet 1*15

Product introduction
Losartas-HT Tablet is a medicine that combines two active ingredients to help manage high blood pressure. It works through different mechanisms to lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of serious health issues such as heart attacks, strokes, and kidney problems if left untreated.

You can take Losartas-HT Tablet with or without meals. The dosage will be determined by your doctor based on your health condition and response to the treatment. Try to take it at the same time every day for better results. Since it contains a diuretic (water pill) that increases urination, it’s best to avoid taking it within four hours of bedtime to prevent sleep disturbances. Even if you start feeling better, continue taking it regularly because high blood pressure often has no noticeable symptoms, and stopping suddenly may increase the risk of heart or kidney complications.

The most frequently reported side effect is dizziness. Other possible effects include tiredness, nausea, diarrhea, headaches, and a drop in blood pressure. Increased urination is expected due to hydrochlorothiazide, which helps control blood pressure. Most side effects are mild and temporary. If they bother you or persist, inform your doctor, as they may adjust your dosage or suggest an alternative medicine.

This medication is not recommended during pregnancy. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding. People with kidney or liver issues, heart conditions, or diabetes should use it with caution. Alcohol consumption may intensify its side effects by lowering blood pressure further.

Uses of Losartas-HT Tablet
It is primarily used for the treatment and management of hypertension (high blood pressure).

Benefits of Losartas-HT Tablet
Losartas-HT Tablet combines Losartan and Hydrochlorothiazide for more effective blood pressure control when a single medication alone isn’t sufficient. Losartan relaxes and widens the blood vessels, making it easier for blood to flow. Hydrochlorothiazide increases urine output to further reduce blood pressure. Proper management of high blood pressure lowers the chances of heart attack, stroke, and kidney complications. Though you may not feel an immediate effect, taking this medicine consistently protects your long-term health.
