Losartan 50mg + Amlodipine 5mg + Chlorthalidone 6.25mg

Losartan 50mg + Amlodipine 5mg + Chlorthalidone 6.25mg — Uses and Benefits

This medicine is used to treat high blood pressure in adults who need more than one medicine to control it.

WHAT THIS MEDICINE IS USED FOR

• Long-term control of high blood pressure (hypertension)
• Used when blood pressure is not controlled by a single medicine
• May be used to reduce risk of heart attack, stroke, and kidney problems related to high blood pressure

HOW IT WORKS

• Losartan blocks a hormone called angiotensin II, which relaxes blood vessels
• Amlodipine relaxes and widens blood vessels by blocking calcium entry into vessel walls
• Chlorthalidone is a diuretic that helps the kidneys remove excess salt and water, lowering blood volume
• Together, these three actions lower blood pressure more effectively than one medicine alone

WHAT IT IS NOT USED FOR

• Not a painkiller or fever medicine
• Not for emergency treatment of a sudden severe rise in blood pressure
• Not for treating infections
• Not a first-choice medicine for someone who has never tried single blood pressure medicines
