Uses
CARDITAN H Tablets are used in the management of hypertension, particularly in patients who require combination therapy for effective blood pressure control. Losartan works by blocking the action of angiotensin II, thereby relaxing blood vessels and reducing strain on the heart. Hydrochlorothiazide complements this effect by promoting diuresis, which lowers blood volume and helps maintain optimal blood pressure. Together, they reduce the risk of complications such as stroke, heart attack, and kidney damage associated with uncontrolled hypertension.

Dosage and Administration
The tablets should be taken orally, swallowed whole with water. Dosage depends on the patient’s condition and response to treatment and must always be adjusted under medical supervision. CARDITAN H is usually taken once daily, with or without food.

Special Populations and Precautions
CARDITAN H should be used cautiously in patients with kidney impairment, liver disease, diabetes, or electrolyte imbalances. Pregnant women must not use this medication, as ARBs can cause harm to the fetus. It is contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to losartan, hydrochlorothiazide, or related compounds. Regular monitoring of blood pressure, kidney function, and electrolytes is recommended during therapy.
