Loza Ht Strip Of 10 Tablets Description
Loza Ht Tablet is a combination of Hydrochlorothiazide and Losartan, an anti-hypertensive. It is used to treat high blood pressure when it cannot be managed using single medicine. This medicine acts
by relaxing the blood vessels and increasing diuresis, which works synergistically to lower the raised blood pressure. Pregnant women should not take this medicine. Do not stop taking the Loza Ht abruptly, as it may cause sudden hypertensive crises and worsen your health further. Always take it as prescribed and advised by your doctor. Visit a nearby clinic or hospital in case of any side effect that worsens or remain persistent.
