Hyzaar (losartan)
Hyzaar is a combination product that contains two medications - losartan and hydrochlorothiazide - which are used in conjunction to lower high blood pressure. Losartan belongs to a class of medications called andiotensin II blockers and helps to lower blood pressure by relaxing blood vessels. Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic, or water pill, that helps control blood pressureby getting rid of excess salt and water. Hyzaar is most often prescribed when other medications have been found not to be effective or to have side effects and when a person is stabilized on losartan and hydrochlorothiazide given individually.
Losartan
Losartan potassium-hydrochlorothiazide combines an angiotensin II receptor antagonist and a diuretic (hydrochlorothiazide). Losartan Potassium is a white to off-white free-flowing crystalline powder with a molecular weight of 461.01. It is freely soluble in water, soluble in alcohols, and slightly soluble in common organic solvents such as acetonitrile and methyl ethyl ketone. Oxidation of the 5-hydroxymethyl group on the imidazole ring results in the active metabolite losartan.
