Purpose of Each Medication

• Chlorthalidone (CTD-6.25): A diuretic that helps reduce blood pressure by removing excess fluid.
• Losartan (Losar-25): An angiotensin receptor blocker that relaxes blood vessels to lower blood pressure.

Why Both Medications May Be Prescribed Together

• Combining different classes of blood pressure medications can provide better control, especially after a brain hemorrhage.
• This combination is often used to manage fluctuating or difficult-to-control hypertension.

Importance of Following Doctor’s Prescription

• Take both medications as prescribed unless advised otherwise by your doctor.
• Regular monitoring of blood pressure and follow-up appointments are crucial.

Potential Side Effects and Precautions

• Common side effects include dizziness or electrolyte changes.
• Contact your healthcare provider if unusual symptoms occur.

When to Seek Medical Advice

• Report any significant changes in blood pressure or new symptoms promptly.

Additional Support

• Consider lifestyle measures such as a healthy diet, regular exercise, and avoiding smoking or excessive salt to support blood pressure control.
