Lozatan H is a combination antihypertensive medication that brings together two different types of blood pressure-lowering agents. It combines an Angiotensin II Receptor Blocker (ARB) with a Diuretic (often called a "water pill"). By using two different mechanisms of action, Lozatan H is often more effective at lowering blood pressure than using either medication alone.
This product is primarily indicated for advanced hypertension management. It is used for:
Hypertension (High Blood Pressure): Specifically for patients whose blood pressure is not sufficiently controlled by a single medication.
Stroke Risk Reduction: Particularly in patients with high blood pressure and left ventricular hypertrophy (thickening of the heart muscle).
Fluid Management: Helping the body eliminate excess salt and water, which further helps to reduce the pressure within the blood vessels.
Losartan Potassium (50mg or 100mg): An ARB that relaxes and widens the blood vessels by blocking a hormone called Angiotensin II.
Hydrochlorothiazide (12.5mg or 25mg): A thiazide diuretic that increases the amount of salt and water the kidneys remove from the blood, reducing the overall volume of fluid in the circulation.
Standard Dose: Usually one tablet once daily.
Timing: Because it contains a diuretic, it is highly recommended to take Lozatan H in the morning. Taking it in the evening may result in frequent trips to the bathroom during the night.
Consistency: Take your tablet at the same time every day to maintain steady blood pressure control.
With or Without Food: Lozatan H can be taken with or without a meal.
Swallow Whole: Swallow the tablet with a full glass of water.
Hydration: While the medication helps remove excess fluid, it is still important to stay normally hydrated. Avoid excessive salt in your diet, as salt can counteract the effects of the diuretic.
Adherence: Do not skip doses. High blood pressure often has no symptoms, but consistent treatment is vital for long-term health.
Pregnancy Warning: Do not use Lozatan H if you are pregnant. Medications acting on the renin-angiotensin system can cause injury or death to the developing fetus. If you become pregnant, stop the medication and contact your doctor immediately.
Dizziness: You may feel lightheaded when you first start this medication or when you stand up quickly. Move slowly until your body adjusts.
Electrolyte Balance: The diuretic component can affect your levels of potassium and sodium. Our pharmacist may recommend periodic blood tests to monitor these levels.
Sulfa Allergy: Inform our pharmacist if you are allergic to "sulfa" drugs, as Hydrochlorothiazide is a sulfonamide derivative.
Sun Sensitivity: This medication can make your skin more sensitive to sunlight. Wear sunscreen or protective clothing if you will be outdoors for long periods.
Indicated For: Adults with hypertension requiring combination therapy.
Targeted Use: Patients who need both blood vessel relaxation and fluid reduction to reach their target blood pressure goals.
Q: Will this make me urinate more?
A: Yes, especially during the first few days. This is the diuretic working to remove excess fluid from your system. This effect usually levels off as your body adjusts.
Q: Can I use salt substitutes while on Lozatan H?
A: Many salt substitutes contain potassium. Because Losartan can increase potassium levels in some people, consult our pharmacist before using potassium-based salt substitutes.
Q: What if I miss a dose?
A: Take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is late in the day, skip the missed dose and wait until your next morning dose to avoid nighttime urination. Do not double the dose.
