LOSARTAN/HCTZ
PRESCRIPTION REQUIRED

Angiotensin II Receptor Antagonist/ Diuretic/ Antihypertensive

Therapeutic indications:

Essential hypertension (non-organ-induced hypertension)

Chronic cardiac insufficiency – if treatment with an ACE inhibitor is not suitable due to intolerability of contraindication. Conversion of a patient with cardiac insufficiency who is stable adjusted to an ACE inhibitor is not recommended. Losartan is to be used in this indication as adjuvant therapy to standard therapy of chronic cardiac insufficiency, which – if indicated – involves diuretics, beta-adrenergic blocking agents and digitalis. Patients should exhibit a lowered left-ventricular ejection fraction (<40%), and they should be clinically stable on cardiac insufficiency therapy.

Diabetic nephropathy in patients with type II diabetes mellitus and protenuria from 0.5 g/day as part of antihypertensive treatment.
