About LORAM H 5MG TABLET

LORAM H 5MG TABLET belongs to a class of medication called 'anti-hypertensive' primarily used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure). Hypertension is a condition in which the force exerted by the blood against the artery walls becomes so high that it causes health problems, such as heart disease.

LORAM H 5MG TABLET is a combination of three drugs: Hydrochlorothiazide (diuretic), Losartan (angiotensin receptor blocker), and  Ramipril (ACE inhibitors). Hydrochlorothiazide belongs to diuretics (water tablets) that increase the removal of excess water and certain salts such as sodium and potassium from the blood. This removal of water from blood reduces the fluid volume circulating through blood vessels. Losartan helps in relaxing and widening blood vessels and helps in lowering blood pressure. This makes it easier for the heart to pump more amount of blood into the whole body.  Ramipril belongs to the class angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors that work by blocking an angiotensin-converting enzyme that decreases angiotensin II production in the body causes constriction and narrowing of blood vessels leading to high blood pressure. Thereby, it widens and relaxes blood vessels. Thus, together they lower high blood pressure.

Your doctor will advise you how often you take your tablets based on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience dizziness, weakness, blurred vision, nausea, headache, orthostatic hypotension (low blood pressure when standing up from sitting or lying position), high cholesterol or uric acid levels, electrolyte imbalance, diarrhea, chest pain, fast heartbeat, changes in taste or stomach pain. Most of these side effects of LORAM H 5MG TABLET do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist, please consult your doctor.

LORAM H 5MG TABLET is not recommended for pregnant women, especially in second and third trimesters, as it may cause serious harm to the baby. Therefore, pregnant or breastfeeding women are advised to consult a doctor before taking LORAM H 5MG TABLET. Avoid potassium supplements with LORAM H 5MG TABLET as it may lead to high potassium levels in the blood. If you have asthma, diabetes, low blood pressure, difficulty in urination, gout, blood disorders, systemic lupus erythematosus (an autoimmune disease), scleroderma (hardening and tightening of skin), cerebrovascular disease (a condition affecting blood flow to the brain), have a history of angioedema (swelling under the skin) or skin cancer, kidney, liver or heart problems inform your doctor before taking LORAM H 5MG TABLET.
