Revas-H Tablet is a combination of two medications: Losartan 50 mg and Hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg. Losartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that helps relax blood vessels, while Hydrochlorothiazide is a thiazide diuretic (water pill) that helps reduce excess fluid in the body. Together, they work to lower high blood pressure and reduce the risk of stroke and heart-related issues.
