Alsartan-H Tablet is a combination medicine used for the treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension). It contains:

• Losartan – an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that relaxes blood vessels and lowers blood pressure.

• Hydrochlorothiazide – a thiazide diuretic (water pill) that removes excess salt and water from the body, helping to control blood pressure and reduce swelling.

This dual action makes Alsartan-H particularly effective in patients whose blood pressure is not adequately controlled by a single medication.

Uses

• Treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure)

• Reduces risk of stroke, heart attack, and heart failure

• Helps control fluid retention (edema) in certain patients

• Protects kidneys in hypertensive patients with associated risks

Side Effects

Common side effects may include:

• Dizziness, lightheadedness

• Headache, fatigue

• Frequent urination (due to diuretic effect)

• Low blood pressure (hypotension)

• Muscle cramps or weakness

• Increased potassium or decreased sodium levels

Serious side effects (seek medical help immediately):

• Severe allergic reactions (swelling of face, lips, throat)

• Irregular heartbeat or chest pain

• Severe dehydration or electrolyte imbalance

Precautions

• Use cautiously in patients with kidney disease, liver problems, or gout

• Regular monitoring of blood pressure, kidney function, and electrolytes (potassium, sodium) is essential

• Avoid alcohol as it may worsen dizziness and low BP

• Inform your doctor if you are taking diuretics, lithium, potassium supplements, or other antihypertensives

Uses:
