About LOSAR BETA H TABLET

LOSAR BETA H TABLET belongs to the class of ‘anti-hypertensive drugs’ primarily used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). Hypertension is a medical condition in which the blood exerts high pressure (force exerted by circulating blood) against blood vessel walls. This condition causes the heart to work harder in pumping blood to the entire body. Hypertension can cause severe health complications, including stroke, heart failure, heart attack, and kidney failure.

LOSAR BETA H TABLET consists of three anti-hypertensive medicines: Losartan, Atenolol, and Hydrochlorothiazide. Losartan is an angiotensin II receptor antagonist which relaxes blood vessels. Hydrochlorothiazide belongs to a class of drugs known as diuretics/water pills. It works by causing you to make more urine. This helps your body eliminate excess salt and water. Atenolol is a beta blocker that works specifically on the heart to slow down the heart rate. LOSAR BETA H TABLET lowers the raised blood pressure and increases the blood flow by preventing the narrowing of blood vessels. Thus, it prevents angina (heart-related chest pain) and uneven heartbeats (arrhythmias). 

In some cases, LOSAR BETA H TABLET can cause side effects such as sleepiness, changes in taste, ankle swelling, headaches, dizziness, cold extremities (hands and feet), numbness or tingling in the hands, feet, or lips, tiredness, palpitations (irregular heartbeat), and upset stomach. These side effects are not familiar to everyone and vary from person to person. If you notice any side effects that are not manageable, please consult your doctor.

Losartan is an angiotensin II receptor antagonist. It lowers the blood pressure and increases the blood flow by preventing the narrowing of blood vessels. Atenolol is a beta-blocker and is used to treat high blood pressure, angina (chest pain), and uneven heartbeats (arrhythmias). It blocks the action of epinephrine, also known as adrenaline, which is released during extreme emotions. This helps lower blood pressure, heart rate, and strain on the heart. It reduces the heart rate and makes the heart pump blood efficiently throughout the body. Atenolol is also used to protect the heart during the treatment of a heart attack. Hydrochlorothiazide belongs to the class of diuretics with antihypertensive activity. It inhibits sodium reabsorption in the kidneys, increasing the excretion of sodium, potassium, electrolytes, water, and hydrogen ions.
