Description
ASTAN-H Tablets contain a combination of 50mg of Losartan Potassium and Hydrochlorothiazide, which is used to help control high blood pressure. Losartan is an ARB medication that helps to relax the blood vessels, which allows blood to flow more easily. Whereas hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic that helps the body to remove extra salt and water through urine.
Together, these medicines help lower and control blood pressure when one medicine alone may not be enough. Keeping blood pressure under control can help to reduce the risk of serious problems, such as heart attack, stroke, and kidney damage. Moreover, ASTAN-H should be taken regularly and only as prescribed by your doctor.
Working Mechanism of Losartan Potassium and Hydrochlorothiazide Tablets
- Losartan Potassium present in the tablet helps to relax and widen the blood vessels by blocking the action of a substance that makes blood vessels narrow. This allows blood to flow more easily and helps to lower blood pressure.
- Hydrochlorothiazide is a water tablet. It helps the kidneys remove extra salt and water from the body through urine. This reduces excess fluid in the blood vessels and helps to lower blood pressure.
Uses of Losartan Potassium & Hydrochlorothiazide Tablets
ASTAN-H Tablets are prescribed for the treatment of:
- High blood pressure (Hypertension)
- Patients requiring combination antihypertensive therapy
- Blood pressure control when treatment with a single medicine is insufficient
- Reducing the long-term risk associated with uncontrolled hypertension
How to Take Losartan Potassium and Hydrochlorothiazide Tablets
Take ASTAN-H exactly as your doctor has advised. Swallow the tablet with water and try to take it at the same time every day. Hydrochlorothiazide may make you urinate more often. Therefore, your doctor may advise you to take ASTAN-H earlier in the day.
Do not stop taking ASTAN-H or change the dose on your own, even if you feel well. High blood pressure may not cause any clear symptoms.
