Sarpot H Tablet 15's is used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) and reduce the risk of stroke in patients with high blood pressure. It is a combination medication generally used when a single medicine is unable to control high blood pressure. It contains Losartan and Hydrochlorothiazide, which helps to relax and widen the blood vessels (arteries) for easy blood flow to the whole body. Also, it prevents excess salt absorption in the body, preventing fluid retention. Thus, it lowers blood pressure and prevents the risk of stroke, heart attack, and oedema (fluid overload). In some cases, it may cause side effects such as upper respiratory infections, dizziness, feeling tired, nausea, diarrhoea, back pain, and cold/flu symptoms like a cough.

How Sarpot H Tablet 15's Works

Sarpot H Tablet 15's contains losartan and hydrochlorothiazide, which work together to lower high blood pressure and reduce strain on the heart and blood vessels. Losartan is an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) that works by blocking the action of a natural hormone called angiotensin II, which normally causes blood vessels to tighten and narrow. By blocking this effect, losartan helps blood vessels relax and widen, allowing blood to flow more easily and lowering blood pressure. Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic, commonly known as a 'water pill,' that helps the kidneys remove excess salt and water from the body through urine. This reduces the amount of fluid circulating in the bloodstream, which helps lower blood pressure and decreases the workload on the heart. Together, these medicines help improve blood flow, control high blood pressure, and reduce the risk of complications such as heart attack, stroke, and kidney problems.
