Dosage:

Indications:

Lorista H 50 is indicated for the treatment of hypertension in patients whose blood pressure is not adequately controlled with losartan or hydrochlorothiazide alone.

Contraindications:

Do not use Lorista H 50 if you are allergic to any of the ingredients, if you are pregnant, or if you have severe liver or kidney disease.

Directions:

Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. It can be taken with or without food. Do not crush or chew the tablet.

Scientific Evidence:

Studies have shown that the combination of losartan and hydrochlorothiazide in Lorista H 50 is more effective in lowering blood pressure compared to either drug alone. Losartan works by blocking the action of a hormone that causes blood vessels to constrict, while hydrochlorothiazide helps the body get rid of excess salt and water.

In a clinical trial published in the Journal of Hypertension, patients taking the combination of losartan and hydrochlorothiazide experienced a significant reduction in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure compared to placebo.

Additional Information:

It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly while taking Lorista H 50 to ensure it is within the desired range. Inform your doctor if you experience any side effects such as dizziness, lightheadedness, or electrolyte imbalances.

Avoid consuming alcohol while taking Lorista H 50 as it may increase the risk of low blood pressure and dizziness.
