Scientific Evidence
- Studies have shown that the combination of losartan potassium and hydrochlorothiazide in Lorista H provides an additive antihypertensive effect.
- Losartan works by blocking the action of angiotensin II, a substance in the body that causes blood vessels to constrict, while hydrochlorothiazide helps the body remove excess salt and water by increasing urine production.
- Research published in the Journal of Clinical Hypertension demonstrated that the combination of losartan and hydrochlorothiazide effectively reduces blood pressure in patients with hypertension, with a good safety profile.
