Safely Buy Hyzaar ( Losartan/HCTZ ) from Canada Prescriptions Plus.

Hyzaar Uses 

Hyzaar generic name is losartan/hydrochlorothiazide; it is a combination medication prescribed to treat high blood pressure. Untreated High blood pressure can increase the risks of stroke, heart failure, blood vessel disease, or kidney problems. This medication is also prescribed for patients with an enlarged heart to prevent stroke. Losartan and its active metabolite block the chemicals that cause the narrowing of the blood vessels, resulting in a relaxed blood vessel, allowing a more effortless blood flow; this agent belongs to the class of ARB’s angiotensin receptor blocker. While hydrochlorothiazide belongs to the class of diuretics (water pills), it helps prevent the body from absorbing too much salt, for it can cause fluid retention; thiazide diuretic works on the kidney to produce more urine to excrete excess salt and water in the body.  

These two agents work together to improve blood pressure and are a great combo as losartan increases serum potassium level. At the same time, hydrochlorothiazide decreases serum potassium levels resulting in a lesser effect on potassium levels in the body, unlike other drugs. Before taking Hyzaar medication, disclose your medical history to your doctor, especially gout, kidney disease, liver disease, lupus, dehydration, high level of potassium in the blood, or skin cancer.
