Mesar H Tablet

Introduction

Mesar H Tablet is a combination medication used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). It contains two active ingredients: Losartan Potassium (50mg) and Hydrochlorothiazide (12.5mg). Losartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) that helps relax blood vessels, while Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic that reduces fluid retention. Together, they work to lower blood pressure, reduce the risk of stroke, and prevent complications like heart failure or kidney problems.

Uses of Mesar H Tablet

• Effective treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension)

How Mesar H Tablet Works

Mesar H Tablet combines two active ingredients to help manage high blood pressure. Losartan works by blocking the action of a hormone that causes blood vessels to constrict, helping them to relax and widen. Hydrochlorothiazide, a diuretic, helps the body eliminate excess salt and water through urination, further helping to lower blood pressure and reduce swelling.
