Benefits of Losakaps H Tablet

In Treatment of Hypertension (high blood pressure)

Losakaps H 50mg/12.5mg Tablet is a combination of two medicines namely Losartan and Hydrochlorothiazide.

This will lower your blood pressure. Hydrochlorothiazide is known as a diuretic (water pill) which increases urine output thereby lowering blood pressure. If your blood pressure is controlled you are less at risk of having a heart attack, stroke, or kidney problems. The medicine must be taken regularly as prescribed to be effective. You do not usually feel any direct benefit from taking this medicine, but it works in the long term to keep you well.
