Tablet Manufacturer/Distributor: Square Pharmaceuticals Ltd. Generic Name: Hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg + Losartan Potassium 100 mg
Losartan & Hydrochlorothiazide combination is indicated for the treatment of hypertension. This fixed dose combination is not indicated for initial therapy of hypertension, except when the hypertension is severe enough that the value of achieving prompt blood pressure control exceeds the risk of initiating combination therapy in these patients.
Dosage:Â Dosing must be individualised. The usual starting dose of Losartan is 50 mg once daily, with 25 mg recommended for patients with intravascular volume depletion (e.g., patients treated with diuretics) and patients with a history of hepatic impairment. Losartan can be administered once or twice daily at total daily doses of 25 to 100 mg. If the antihypertensive effect measured trough using once a day dosing is inadequate, a twice a day regimen at the same total daily dose or an increase in dose may give a more satisfactory response.Â
Hydrochlorothiazide is effective in doses of 12.5 to 50 mg once daily and can be given at doses of 12.5 to 25 mg. To minimise dose independent side effects, it is usually appropriate to begin combination therapy only after a patient has failed to achieve the desired effect with monotherapy
Side effects:Â Abdominal pain, Edema/swelling, Palpitation, Back pain, Dizziness, Cough, Sinusitis, Upper respiratory tract infection, rash etc.
