Losartium -H Tablet

Losartium-H is a combination medication in the cardiovascular therapeutic class, specifically formulated to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). Each tablet contains two active ingredients: 50 mg of Losartan Potassium USP and 12.5 mg of Hydrochlorothiazide. Losartan Potassium is an angiotensin II receptor antagonist (ARB) that helps relax blood vessels, thereby lowering blood pressure. Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic (water pill) that helps control blood pressure by reducing excess fluid in the body.

Losartium-H is primarily indicated for the treatment of hypertension. It is particularly effective in patients whose blood pressure is not adequately controlled by a single medication and who may benefit from the combined effects of Losartan and Hydrochlorothiazide. This combination is effective in lowering blood pressure to a greater degree than either component alone. By reducing high blood pressure, Losartium-H helps prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems. Additionally, it may be prescribed in cases where a patient has an additional risk of fluid retention, as the diuretic action of Hydrochlorothiazide can help alleviate this issue.

The typical dosage of Losartium-H involves taking one tablet daily, although the exact dosage may vary depending on the patient's individual medical condition and response to treatment. The medication can be taken with or without food, and it's generally recommended to take it at the same time each day. Consistent use is important for maintaining stable blood pressure levels. Patients taking Losartium-H should be monitored for electrolyte balance and kidney function, as diuretics like Hydrochlorothiazide can affect these parameters. As with all medications, it's important for patients to discuss their entire medical history and any other medications they are taking with their healthcare provider to ensure safety and effectiveness. Adjustments to dosage should only be made under medical supervision.
