1.
WHAT COZAAR COMP IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Cozaar Comp is a combination of an angiotensin II receptor antagonist
(losartan) and a diuretic (hydrochlorothiazide). Angiotensin II is a
substance produced in the body which binds to receptors in blood
vessels, causing them to tighten. This results in an increase in blood
pressure. Losartan prevents the binding of angiotensin II to these
receptors, causing the blood vessels to relax which in turn lowers the
blood pressure. Hydrochlorothiazide works by making the kidneys pass
more water and salt. This also helps to reduce blood pressure.
Cozaar Comp is indicated for the treatment of essential hypertension
(high blood pressure).
