________________________________________
DESCRIPTION
TGP Losartan + Hydrochlorothiazide Film Coated Tablet 100 mg/25 mg is a fixed dose combination of losartan, an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), and hydrochlorothiazide, a thiazide diuretic. Losartan relaxes blood vessels by blocking the action of angiotensin II, while hydrochlorothiazide promotes the excretion of excess salt and water. Together, they effectively lower blood pressure and reduce cardiovascular strain.
