Losar-Ch 12.5/50mg Tablet belongs to the class of ‘anti-hypertensive drugs’ primarily used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). Hypertension is a medical condition in which blood pressure is elevated persistently in the arteries. It is considered an essential risk factor for cardiovascular diseases like heart attack, stroke, myocardial infarction etc.

Losar-Ch 12.5/50mg Tablet consists of two medicines, namely: Losartan and Chlorthalidone. Losartan belongs to a group of angiotensin II receptor antagonists which narrows constricted blood vessels and widens it. Thus, it lowers elevated blood pressure and increases blood flow by preventing blood vessel narrowing. Chlorthalidone belongs to thiazide diuretics (water pill) which inhibits sodium and chloride reabsorption from absorbing excess salts that cause fluid retention or build-up. Thus, it also relaxes the blood vessels to improve blood circulation and lowers raised blood pressure.
