Active Ingredient & Action
LOSARTAN/HCTZ works by combining the effects of two active ingredients. HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE is a diuretic that helps the body get rid of excess fluid by increasing urine production. LOSARTAN POTASSIUM is an angiotensin II receptor antagonist that relaxes blood vessels, making it easier for the heart to pump blood and reducing blood pressure.
