Xavor-Diu 50/12.5mg Tablet

Xavor-Diu 50/12.5mg Tablet is a combination medication containing two active ingredients: Losartan Potassium & Hydrochlorothiazide. It is commonly prescribed for the treatment of hypertension, also known as high blood pressure. Losartan Potassium is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), while Hydrochlorothiazide is a thiazide diuretic.

Uses:

Xavor-Diu 50/12.5mg Tablet is used to manage high blood pressure in patients who require treatment with both an angiotensin II receptor blocker and a diuretic. Losartan Potassium works by relaxing blood vessels, thereby lowering blood pressure, while Hydrochlorothiazide increases urine production, leading to decreased fluid retention and further reduction in blood pressure.

Administration:

Xavor-Diu 50/12.5mg Tablet is taken orally, usually once daily or as directed by a healthcare professional. The dosage may vary depending on the patient’s response to treatment and other medical conditions they may have. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage regimen and not to adjust the dose without consulting a healthcare provider.

Some individuals may experience more severe side effects such as allergic reactions, electrolyte disturbances, or kidney problems. It is important to seek medical attention if any unusual or severe side effects occur.

Before starting Xavor-Diu 50/12.5mg Tablet, patients should inform their healthcare provider of any medical conditions they have, especially if they have a history of kidney problems, liver disease, diabetes, or gout.
