Xavor-Diu Tablet 50mg/12.5mg is a combination of Losartan Potassium 50mg and Hydrochlorothiazide 12.5mg, used for the treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension). It helps control blood pressure by relaxing blood vessels and removing excess fluid from the body, making it easier for the heart to pump blood.

This combination is commonly prescribed when a single medicine is not enough to control blood pressure effectively. It also helps reduce the risk of stroke, heart attack, and kidney complications associated with long-term hypertension.
