Losa Am Tabs (50/5 Mg) (20X10) Losartan 50 Mg, Amlodipine 5 Mg by Elder

What is it used for?
This combination is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). Lowering blood pressure helps reduce the risk of complications such as heart attack and stroke.

How does it work?
Losartan relaxes blood vessels by blocking the action of a hormone that can raise blood pressure. Amlodipine relaxes blood vessels and reduces the workload on the heart, helping blood pressure come down.

How to take/use it
Take it exactly as prescribed, usually at the same time each day, with or without food. Do not stop it or change the dose without medical advice. If a dose is missed, follow the instructions provided by the prescriber or pharmacist.

Common side effects
Dizziness, headache, tiredness, flushing, and swelling of the ankles or feet may occur. Contact a healthcare professional if side effects are severe or persistent.

Precautions
This medicine may cause dizziness, especially when starting treatment; rise slowly and avoid driving if affected. Tell the doctor about kidney or liver problems, dehydration, pregnancy, or plans to become pregnant. Avoid potassium supplements or potassium-containing salt substitutes unless advised by a doctor.
