1. WHAT IS THE MEDICINE INTENDED FOR?
LOSARTA PLUS is intended for treatment of
hypertension, and to help lower the risk of
stroke in patients with high blood pressure and
a thickening of the left ventricle (the heart’s
main pumping chamber).
THERAPEUTIC CLASS: LOSARTA PLUS is a
combination of Angiotensin-II receptor blocker
(losartan) and a thiazide diuretic
(hydrochlorothiazide).
Angiotensin II is a substance produced in the
body, that binds to receptors in the blood
vessels and causes them to tighten. This
results in an increase in blood pressure.
Losartan inhibits the binding of angiotensin II to
these receptors and causes the blood vessels
to relax, resulting in lower blood pressure.
Hydrochlorothiazide functions by causing the
kidneys to pass more water and salt. This also
helps to lower the blood pressure.
