About ZORTAN H TABLET
ZORTAN H TABLET is used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) and reduce the risk of stroke. Hypertension or high blood pressure is a life-long or chronic condition in which the force exerted against the artery wall becomes too high. It can lead to the risk of heart diseases like heart attack and stroke.
ZORTAN H TABLET is a combination of Losartan and Hydrochlorothiazide. Losartan helps to relax and widen the blood vessels (arteries) for easy blood flow. Hydrochlorothiazide prevents excess salt absorption in the body, preventing fluid retention.

Most of these side effects of ZORTAN H TABLET do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.
You can take ZORTAN H TABLET with food or on an empty stomach. It should be swallowed whole with a glass of water. Your doctor will advise you on how often you take your tablets based on your medical condition. Do not chew, break, or crush the medicine.
