Amlozaar-H Tablet is an 'anti-hypertensive' medication primarily used in the treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension). High blood pressure or hypertension is a chronic condition in which the blood's force against the walls of blood vessels, is consistently too high. As a result, this can ultimately lead to heart-related conditions like heart failure, stroke, and irregular heartbeat.

Amlozaar-H Tablet is a combination of three medicines namely: Amlodipine, Hydrochlorothiazide, and Losartan. Amlodipine belongs to class medicines known as calcium channel blocker that dilates (widens) blood vessels and increases blood flow. It helps to lower blood pressure, reduce chest pain (angina), and other complications caused by coronary artery disease. Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic or water pill that works by removing extra water/fluid and certain electrolytes overload from the body. Losartan belongs to class medicines known as angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) that works by blocking the hormone angiotensin, thereby relaxing and widening the narrowed blood vessels. This allows the blood to flow more smoothly in the blood vessels, and the heart can pump more efficiently. Thus, all together Amlozaar-H Tablet helps in controlling high blood pressure.

You may experience nausea, altered taste, diarrhea, stomach upset, dizziness, flushing (sense of warmth in the face, ears, neck, and trunk), headache, numbness (lost, reduced, or altered sensation) of extremity in some cases. Most of these side effects of Amlozaar-H Tablet do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

Do not use potassium supplements or salt substitutes unless the doctor has told you. If you notice unexplained muscle pain, dark color urine, tenderness, or weakness, especially if you also have a fever or unexplained tiredness, immediately contact the doctor. Try not to stop taking this medicine on your own. Let your doctor know about this, as stopping abruptly may provoke rapid upswings in blood pressure. Inform your doctor before starting this medication course if you are suffering from kidney, liver, or heart disease. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should not take Amlozaar-H Tablet without proper consultation or inputs from their OB/GYN.

Amlozaar-H Tablet is a combination of three medicines, namely: Amlodipine, Hydrochlorothiazide, and Losartan. Amlodipine belongs to class medicines known as calcium channel blockers. Amlodipine is known to work by inhibiting the entry of calcium ions across cardiac (heart) and smooth muscle causing relaxation and dilation (widening) of these muscles. Amlodipine does not change serum calcium concentrations. Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic or water pill. Hydrochlorothiazide works by inhibiting the sodium chloride transport in the distal convoluted tubule (a portion of the kidney nephron). Along with accompanying fluid, more sodium is then excreted in the kidney. This increases the flow of urine and reduces the amount of water in the body, thereby helps in lowering blood pressure. Losartan is an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) that works by blocking the hormone angiotensin, thereby relaxing and widening the narrowed blood vessels. This allows the blood to flow more smoothly in the blood vessels, and the heart can pump more efficiently. Thus, all together Amlozaar-H Tablet helps in controlling high blood pressure.

Do not use Amlozaar-H Tablet if you are pregnant, planning for pregnancy, or if you are unable to urinate (anuria). Amlozaar-H Tablet may pass into breast milk, so before starting Amlozaar-H Tablet , either you need to stop nursing, or you should not take Amlozaar-H Tablet while breastfeeding. Please inform your doctor/surgeon before surgery that you are on Amlozaar-H Tablet as it needs to be stopped because it might lower the blood pressure further if taken along with certain anesthesia medication. Avoid intake of potassium salt or its substitute while using Amlozaar-H Tablet to avoid any electrolytes imbalance. Amlozaar-H Tablet should be used with extreme caution in patients with liver, kidney, cardiovascular diseases and diabetic patients. Use only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk. Your doctor will weigh the benefits and any potential risks before prescribing it to you.
