________________________________________
DESCRIPTION
TGP INTERPHIL Losartan + Hydrochlorothiazide Film Coated Tablet 50 mg/12.5 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 angiotensin II, while hydrochlorothiazide helps reduce excess fluid by increasing urine output. Together, they effectively lower blood pressure and reduce cardiovascular workload.
