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. 2.
