TabletsClinical Overview
Losartan Potassium and Hydrochlorothiazide combines a selective AT1 receptor blocker with a thiazide diuretic on the WHO Model List of Essential Medicines. Losartan blocks angiotensin II-induced vasoconstriction and uniquely possesses intrinsic uricosuric properties that increase uric acid excretion, offsetting the hyperuricemic tendency of hydrochlorothiazide, while hydrochlorothiazide reduces extracellular fluid volume. Indicated for the treatment of hypertension not adequately controlled on monotherapy and for reducing stroke risk in hypertensive patients with left ventricular hypertrophy.

Usage Guidelines
Take orally once daily in the morning with a glass of water, with or without meals. Morning dosing prevents nocturia. Maintain regular blood pressure checks.
General Administration Advice: Adhere strictly to the prescribed dosage, frequency, and treatment course. For oral medications, swallow with sufficient water. Never stop antibiotics, psychiatric medications, or antihypertensives abruptly without clinical direction.
Possible Side Effects
Common: Dizziness, fatigue, upper respiratory infection, headache, hypokalemia. Rare/Severe: Boxed warning: Fetal toxicity; angioedema, acute renal impairment, electrolyte imbalance, and secondary angle-closure glaucoma.
*Note: Individual physiological responses vary. While many patients experience few or no side effects, notify your treating physician if adverse reactions persist or if hypersensitivity (angioedema, skin rash, dyspnea) occurs.
Precautions & Warnings
Black box warning for fetal toxicity. Contraindicated in pregnancy and anuria. Monitor renal function, serum potassium, and serum sodium periodically.

Losartan Tablets 25mg
Losartan Potassium is the prototype selective competitive angiotensin II receptor type 1 (AT1) antagonist on the WHO Model List of Essential Medicines. It blocks the physiological actions of angiotensin II, lowering systemic vascular resistance and aldosterone secretion, while its active metabolite EXP3174 provides long-acting non-competitive blockade. Possesses unique uricosuric activity, lowering serum uric acid levels. Indicated for essential hypertension, diabetic nephropathy in type 2 diabetes with elevated creatinine and proteinuria, and stroke reduction in hypertensive patients with left ventricular hypertrophy.
Losartan Tablets 50mg
Losartan Potassium is the prototype selective competitive angiotensin II receptor type 1 (AT1) antagonist on the WHO Model List of Essential Medicines. It blocks the physiological actions of angiotensin II, lowering systemic vascular resistance and aldosterone secretion, while its active metabolite EXP3174 provides long-acting non-competitive blockade. Possesses unique uricosuric activity, lowering serum uric acid levels. Indicated for essential hypertension, diabetic nephropathy in type 2 diabetes with elevated creatinine and proteinuria, and stroke reduction in hypertensive patients with left ventricular hypertrophy.
Telmisartan 40mg + Hydrochlorothiazide 12.5mg Tablets
Telmisartan and Hydrochlorothiazide combines an AT1 angiotensin II receptor antagonist with a thiazide diuretic. Telmisartan suppresses the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone axis, while hydrochlorothiazide inhibits sodium and chloride reabsorption in the distal convoluted renal tubules, increasing urinary excretion of sodium, chloride, and water. Telmisartan counteracts diuretic-induced potassium wasting and metabolic disturbances. Indicated for the treatment of hypertension not adequately controlled on telmisartan monotherapy.
Ramipril 5mg + Hydrochlorothiazide 12.5mg Tablets
Angiotensin Converting Enzyme (ACE) Inhibitor on the WHO Model List of Essential Medicines. It blocks the conversion of angiotensin I to the potent vasoconstrictor angiotensin II, reducing peripheral arterial resistance, decreasing aldosterone secretion, and inhibiting the enzymatic degradation of bradykinin, producing potent vasodilation and cardioprotection. Indicated for essential hypertension, heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), post-myocardial infarction, and diabetic nephropathy.
