Is Losar A Or Is Losar H Better For Treatment Of Asthma?
Brief Answer:
Tablets Losar A is better in you
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing in to us.
I have read through your query in details.
LOSAR-A contains losartan potassium 50 mg, amlodipine 5 mg.
LOSAR-H contains losartan potassium 50 mg, hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg.
Losartan belongs to the class of angiotensin II antagonists. Used in the treatment of blood pressure.
Amlodipine belongs to the class of selective calcium-channel blockers with mainly vascular effects. Used in the treatment of blood pressure.
Hydrochlorothiazide belongs to the class of low-ceiling thiazide diuretics. Used to promote excretion of urine and is a water pill that helps maintain water balance and this controls heart function and blood pressure.
After reviewing literature on blood pressure medications and asthma, I find LOSAR A is a better option for you given a choice between Losar A and Losar H. However any medication can show side effects and therefore if you have any discomfort or swelling of legs then please discuss with your doctor.
Hope this answers your question. Please feel free to correct any oversight in my interpretation of your problems and discuss them in detail as per your requirements.
Hope your query is answered.
Do write back if you have any doubts.
