Sartan H 50mg/12.5mg Tablet is a combination medicine containing Losartan Potassium 50mg and Hydrochlorothiazide 12.5mg. It is primarily prescribed for the treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension), especially when blood pressure is not adequately controlled with a single medication. Losartan helps relax blood vessels, while Hydrochlorothiazide acts as a diuretic (water pill) that removes excess fluid and salt from the body. Together, they help lower blood pressure effectively.

Regular use of Sartan H can help reduce the risk of serious complications associated with uncontrolled hypertension, including heart attack, stroke, heart failure, and kidney damage.
