Losarfine H Tablet is a medication commonly prescribed to manage high blood pressure (hypertension). It contains a combination of Losartan 50?mg and Hydrochlorothiazide 12.5?mg, which work together to effectively lower blood pressure and help protect your heart and blood vessels.
How it works:
The Losarfine H Tablet combines two active ingredients: Losartan, an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB), and Hydrochlorothiazide, a diuretic. Losartan helps relax blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily. Hydrochlorothiazide helps your body get rid of excess water and salt, which reduces fluid volume and eases the heart's workload. This dual action makes Losarfine H Tablet an effective treatment for controlling high blood pressure.
Important Precautions:
Before taking Losarfine H Tablet, discuss your medical history with your doctor, especially if you have kidney or liver conditions, or gout. Avoid consuming excessive salt or potassium supplements unless advised by your healthcare provider. This medication is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. You might experience increased sun sensitivity, so use sunscreen and wear protective clothing when outdoors. Regular monitoring of your blood pressure, kidney function, electrolytes (including potassium), and uric acid levels will be important during treatment with Losarfine H Tablet.
Storage:
Store Losarfine H Tablet below 30?°C in a cool, dry place. Keep it out of reach of children and do not use it past its expiry date.
Uses:
- Treating hypertension (high blood pressure) in adults.
- Reducing the risk of stroke and heart attack in individuals with high blood pressure and certain other risk factors.
- Supporting heart function in patients who experience fluid retention due to heart conditions, helping to reduce swelling and improve breathing.
Directions of Use
Always take Losarfine H Tablet exactly as prescribed by your doctor. The typical dosage is one tablet once daily.
