Name: Losakind‑H 50/12.5 mg Tablet Strength: 50 mg / 12.5 mg Dosage Form: Oral tablet Composition Each tablet contains: Losartan Potassium – 50 mg An angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that relaxes and widens blood vessels. Hydrochlorothiazide – 12.5 mg A thiazide diuretic (“water pill”) that increases urine output to reduce blood volume and lower blood pressure. Therapeutic Use / Indications Losakind‑H 50/12.5 mg is primarily used for: Treatment of Hypertension (high blood pressure) – Helps control elevated blood pressure when a single drug alone is insufficient. Reduction of cardiovascular risk – By lowering blood pressure, it can reduce the risk of stroke and heart attack. LOSAKIND-H 50/12.5 MG tablet is a combination medication used to treat essential hypertension (high blood pressure) and reduce the risk of stroke, especially when single-agent therapy is ineffective. It combines losartan (an angiotensin II receptor blocker) and hydrochlorothiazide (a diuretic), which work together to relax blood vessels and remove excess water/salt from the body. Key Uses and Benefits Hypertension Treatment: Effectively lowers high blood pressure. Stroke Prevention: Used to reduce the risk of stroke in patients with high blood pressure, particularly those with left ventricular hypertrophy. Heart Health: Helps reduce cardiovascular risks such as heart attacks. Fluid Retention: Manages edema by removing excess fluid from the body. How It Works Losartan blocks the effects of angiotensin II (a hormone that narrows blood vessels), helping blood vessels relax and improving blood flow. Hydrochlorothiazide promotes the excretion of sodium and water by the kidneys, decreasing blood volume and pressure. Hypertension (High Blood Pressure) Controls elevated blood pressure when a single medication is insufficient. Helps prevent complications like stroke, heart attack, and kidney damage. Cardiovascular Risk Reduction By lowering blood pressure, it reduces the risk of heart attack, stroke, and heart failure in at-risk patients. Edema Management (Indirectly) The hydrochlorothiazide component, a diuretic, can help reduce fluid retention in certain conditions, though this is secondary to its main use for hypertension. Dosage & Administration Take once daily (usually in the morning or as directed by your doctor). Swallow the tablet whole with water; do not crush or chew. Can be taken with or without food.
