Lorsave H Tablet

Introduction

Lorsave H Tablet contains Losartan Potassium (50mg) and Hydrochlorothiazide (12.5mg), which work together to manage high blood pressure and help reduce the risk of stroke, kidney problems, and other complications associated with hypertension. Losartan is an angiotensin II receptor antagonist, while Hydrochlorothiazide is a thiazide diuretic. This combination helps control blood pressure, promote proper fluid balance, and improve overall cardiovascular health, making it an effective treatment for managing hypertension.
