INTRODUCTION

LOSAR
H is a combination of Hydrochlorothiazide and Losartan which belongs to
the group of medicines called Thiazide like diuretics and Angiotensin
II receptor antagonists respectively. LOSAR H is indicated for the
management of essential hypertension. Essential hypertension (also known
as high blood pressure) is a medical condition in which the force of
the blood exerted against the walls of the artery remains very high, and
as a result it may lead to severe damage to the blood vessels of
several organs, thus causing heart attack, heart or kidney failure,
stroke, or even blindness.

Losartan is an
Angiotensin-receptor blocker which effectively reduces blood pressure by
blocking the actions of Angiotensin – II (a substance that causes
narrowing of blood vessels and increase in blood pressure) and
hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic which acts by increasing urine output,
thus leading to a decrease in blood pressure. During management with
LOSAR H your doctor might regularly monitor your blood pressure, kidney
function and electrolyte levels at regular intervals to avoid any
untoward side effects.

LOSAR H is not suitable for use in
children (aged less than 18 years) and in adult patients with severe
kidney or liver impairment. Long-term use of LOSAR H may increase the
risk of some types of skin and lip cancer, and therefore always protect
your skin from sun rays and UV exposure. LOSAR H is not recommended for
use in breast-feeding women and pregnant women (especially after 3
months of gestation), as it may cause potential harm to the unborn baby.
The most common side effects of LOSAR H are cough, diarrhea, stomach
pain, dizziness, tiredness, and headache. Consult your doctor if any of
the symptom bothers you.

HOW LOSAR H WORKS

LOSAR
H reduces elevated blood pressure, where hydrochlorothiazide works by
making the kidneys pass more water and salt (i.e., urine) and losartan
works by inhibiting the binding of angiotensin II (a substance produced
in the kidneys which causes narrowing of blood vessels) to its
receptors, thus causing the blood vessels to relax which in turn
decreases elevated blood pressure.
