WHAT RASILEZ HCT IS AND WHAT IS IT USED FOR
WHAT RASILEZ HCT IS
This medicine contains two active substances, called aliskiren and
hydrochlorothiazide. Both of these
active substances help to control high blood pressure (hypertension).
Aliskiren is a renin inhibitor. It reduces the amount of angiotensin
II the body can make.
Angiotensin II causes blood vessels to tighten, which makes blood
pressure higher. Lowering the
amount of angiotensin II allows the blood vessels to relax; this
lowers blood pressure.
Hydrochlorothiazide belongs to a group of medicines called thiazide
diuretics. Hydrochlorothiazide
increases urine output, which also lowers blood pressure.
This helps to lower high blood pressure in adult patients. High blood
pressure increases the workload
of the heart and arteries. If this continues for a long time, it can
damage the blood vessels of the brain,
heart and kidneys, and may result in a stroke, heart
