Description
Vazortan H is a combination medication that typically includes two active ingredients: an antihypertensive (such as Hydrochlorothiazide) and an angiotensin II receptor blocker (such as Losartan). Together, these ingredients work to effectively manage high blood pressure (hypertension) and may also be used to help protect the kidneys in patients with diabetes. The H formulation is designed to enhance the efficacy and convenience of treatment, often providing both blood pressure control and diuretic effects to help reduce fluid retention.
Dosage/Direction: The usual recommended dosage depends on individual patient needs, but it often starts with one tablet taken once daily. It’s crucial for patients to follow their healthcare provider’s instructions regarding dosage adjustments and to take the medication at the same time each day for consistency.
Side Effects: Common side effects may include dizziness, fatigue, headache, or gastrointestinal disturbances such as nausea. Serious side effects can include low blood pressure, electrolyte imbalances, kidney problems, and allergic reactions. Patients should seek medical attention if they experience symptoms of severe side effects.
