Sortiva H 50/12.5 mg Tabs 30'S For Hypertension
Losartan potassium + Hydrochlorothiazide
• Sortiva H is a combination of an angiotensin II receptor antagonist (losartan) and a diuretic (hydrochlorothiazide) that help lower blood pressure.
• Angiotensin II is a substance produced in the body which binds to receptors in blood vessels, causing them to tighten and increase blood pressure.
• Sortiva H prevents the binding of angiotensin-II to these receptors, causing the blood vessels to relax which in turn lowers the blood pressure.
• Hydrochlorothiazide works by making the kidneys pass more water and salt. This also helps to reduce blood pressure.
