Product Description
COSART H 50mg is a fixed-dose combination medication containing Losartan Potassium and Hydrochlorothiazide. Losartan Potassium belongs to a class of drugs called angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), which help relax blood vessels and lower blood pressure. Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic that helps remove excess salt and water from the body, further reducing blood pressure. This combination medication is indicated for the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure) when monotherapy with either Losartan or Hydrochlorothiazide is not sufficient. COSART H 50mg offers an effective and convenient option for managing hypertension, reducing the risk of cardiovascular events and improving overall cardiovascular health.
