1. WHAT LOSARTAN/HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR_ _
_Losartan_
potassium belongs to a group of medicines called angiotensin-II
receptor antagonists. These
cause the blood vessels to relax which in turn lowers the blood
pressure.
_Hydrochlorothiazide _
belongs to a group of medicines called diuretics (water tablets).
Hydrochlorothiazide
works by making the kidneys pass more water and salt. This also helps
to reduce blood pressure.
_Losartan/Hydrochlorothiazide 50 mg/12.5 mg film-coated tablets: _
These tablets are used to treat high blood pressure. The combination
of losartan and hydrochlorothiazide
is a suitable alternative for those people who would otherwise have to
be treated with losartan potassium
and hydrochlorothiazide given as separate tablets.
_Losartan/Hydrochlorothiazide 100 mg/25 mg film-coated tablets: _
These tablets are used to treat high blood pressure in patients who
have not responded sufficiently to
treatment with Losartan/Hy

4 CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1 THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
Losartan/Hydrochlorothiazide is indicated for the treatment of
essential hypertension in patients whose blood pressure is not
adequately controlled on losartan or hydrochlorothiazide alone.
4.2 POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Posology
_Hypertension_
Losartan and hydrochlorothiazide is not for use as initial therapy,
but in patients whose blood pressure is not adequately
controlled by losartan potassium or hydrochlorothiazide alone.
Dose titration with the individual components (losartan and
hydrochlorothiazide) is recommended.
When clinically appropriate direct change from monotherapy to the
fixed combination may be considered in patients whose
blood pressure is not adequately controlled.
The maximum dose is one tablet of Losartan/Hydrochlorothiazide 100 mg/
25 mg once daily. In general, the antihypertensive
effect is attained within three to four weeks after initiation of
therapy.
_Renal impairment and haemodialysis_
No initial dose adjustment is necessary in patients with moderate
renal impairment (i.e. creatinine clearance 30-50 ml/min).
Losartan and hydrochlorothiazide tablets are not recommended for
haemodialysis patients. Losartan/HCTZ tablets must not be
used in patients with severe renal impairment (i.e. creatinine
clearance <30 ml/min) (see section 4.3).
_Intravascular volume depletion_
Volume and/or sodium depletion should be corrected prior to
administra
