Hyzaar (losartan, hydrochlorothiazide) contains two medications, both of which work to lower blood pressure and reduce the heart's workload. This is a hypertension treatment, used to prevent blood vessel and kidney damage, heart attack, and stroke; patients rarely buy Hyzaar for other uses.

This product is usually used in adults, age 18 and up. Parents should not buy Hyzaar for use in younger patients without explicit approval by a doctor.

How Hyzaar Works

Hyzaar contains two medications, each of which are good at lowering blood pressure in their own right:

• Losartan is an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) that relaxes and widens blood vessels, improving blood flow and oxygen delivery to the heart.
• Hydrochlorothiazide, more commonly called HCTZ, is a thiazide diuretic that removes salts and excess fluid through urine. This lowers overall blood volume, which lowers blood pressure.

Combined, the two ingredients are a potent anti-hypertensive treatment; they lower blood pressure, improve oxygen flow, and reduce the overall workload of the heart.

Patients typically buy Hyzaar in one of three scenarios:

• The patient is already taking HCTZ and losartan individually and wishes to combine them for convenience;
• The patient has already been taking either HCTZ or losartan and needs to add another medication to fully control blood pressure;
• The patient isn't taking anything for blood pressure but will likely need multiple medications to control it.

Regardless of how it's used, Hyzaar will lower blood pressure. Patients new to the medication or those who have had dosage increased may have symptoms of low blood pressure; dizziness or lightheadedness when rising from a resting position, general weakness, and mild fatigue. These are not cause for concern unless severe, and in the majority of cases will stop occurring in the first few weeks of treatment.

Getting the Most from Hyzaar

Hyzaar comes in tablets which are taken just once per day, usually in the morning as it will increase urine output. Food is a matter of personal preference. There are three dosage strengths to choose from:

• 50/12.5 mg losartan/HCTZ
• 100/12.5 mg losartan/HCTZ
• 100/25 mg losartan/HCTZ

Treatment is typically as follows:

• Patients taking both losartan and HCTZ individually should start with the same doses of Hyzaar, or as close as possible.
• Patients taking one or the other medication individually should start with the same dose of the one being taken and the lowest dose of the new medication.
• Patients new to blood pressure treatment should be started on 50/12.5 mg losartan/HCTZ.

It takes about three weeks of treatment to see maximum benefit, and doctors will usually wait that long before adjusting dosage.
