This hormone normally causes your blood vessels to narrow. By blocking this action, losartan helps your blood vessels relax and widen to allow blood to more easily flow.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Removing extra fluid:<\/strong> Hydrochlorothiazide works in your kidneys. It helps your body get rid of extra salt (sodium) and water through your urine. This helps lower overall blood pressure.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Reducing heart workload:<\/strong> With wider blood vessels and less fluid, your heart does not have to pump as hard. This reduced workload helps protect the heart muscle over time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Improving overall flow:<\/strong> The combined effect of widening blood vessels and reducing fluid volume helps lower your overall blood pressure numbers and decreases the risk of serious health events like heart attacks or strokes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"quick-facts-card\">\n  <table class=\"quick-facts-table\">\n    <colgroup>\n      <col\/>\n      <col\/>\n    <\/colgroup>\n\n    <thead>\n      <tr>\n        <th colspan=\"2\">Quick Facts<\/th>\n      <\/tr>\n    <\/thead>\n\n    <tbody>\n      <tr>\n        <td><strong>Common Brands<\/strong><\/td>\n        <td>Hyzaar<\/td>\n      <\/tr>\n\n      <tr>\n         <td><strong>Drug Class<\/strong><\/td>\n        <td>Angiotensin II Receptor Blocker (ARB) and Thiazide Diuretic<\/td>\n      <\/tr>\n\n      <tr>\n        <td><strong>Generic Status<\/strong><\/td>\n        <td>Generic is available<\/td>\n      <\/tr>\n\n      <tr>\n         <td><strong>Availability<\/strong><\/td>\n        <td>Prescription only<\/td>\n    <\/tbody>\n  <\/table>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-dosing\">Dosing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Losartan\/hydrochlorothiazide is a tablet taken by mouth once per day. Taking it at the same time every day helps keep the medicine levels steady in your system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Standard guidelines suggest losartan\/hydrochlorothiazide tablets are available in three fixed-dose strengths:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>50 mg \/ 12.5 mg<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>100 mg \/ 12.5 mg<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>100 mg \/ 25 mg<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Providers often start treatment with the 50 mg\/12.5 mg tablet. If your blood pressure needs more control, your doctor may increase the dose. The maximum recommended dose is 100 mg\/25 mg taken once daily.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>Note:<\/strong> Dosing information below is educational only. Your prescribing physician will determine your specific dose based on your individual health needs.\u00a0Always follow your healthcare provider\u2019s instructions for exact dosing.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-uses\">Uses<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>FDA-Approved Uses<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Losartan\/hydrochlorothiazide tablets are FDA-approved for treating high blood pressure (hypertension) and to lower the risk of stroke in patients with high blood pressure and an enlarged heart (left ventricular hypertrophy).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Off-Label Uses<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may see losartan\/hydrochlorothiazide tablets prescribed for uses that are not &#8220;FDA-approved.&#8221; This is a very common and legal practice called &#8220;off-label&#8221; prescribing, where a doctor uses their clinical judgment to prescribe a drug for a different (but well-researched) purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Health care providers may use the individual components of losartan\/hydrochlorothiazide off-label based on clinical judgment, however, there are no off-label uses for the fixed-dose combination formulation.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"telyrx-email-cta telyrx-email-cta--banner alignfull wp-block-telyrx-email-signup\">\n\t\t<h2 class=\"telyrx-email-cta__heading\" data-toc-hidden=\"true\">Get Savings Updates<\/h2>\n\t<p class=\"telyrx-email-cta__description\">Join our mailing list for exclusive deals and more.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<form\n\t\t\tid=\"telyrx-email-form-1\"\n\t\t\tclass=\"telyrx-email-cta__form\"\n\t\t\tdata-portal-id=\"46401311\"\n\t\t\tdata-form-id=\"14e1d7d5-6b17-4228-b42e-c06d1a6c240b\"\n\t\t\tdata-i18n=\"{&quot;subscribe&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;success&quot;:&quot;Thanks!
