Hello!

Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!

I understand your concern and would explain that this is a medicine compound of losartan (which is an ACE inhibitor) and hydroclorthiazide (which is a diuretic).

Both these drugs achieve their peak plasma levels (show their complete effect) afer 1-1.5hours of intake. This effects lasts up to 24 hours. That is why it is recommended to be taken once every 24 hours.

There are different side effects of this drug like : gastrointestinal intolerance and allergic reactions, headaches, low blood pressure, high uric acid (related to hydroclorhiazid), hyperglycemia (related to hydroclorthiazid), fatigue, etc.

Your blood pressure values, seem to be in the upper limits of the normal range.

I would recommend some modifications of your lifestyle to help you maintain a normal blood pressure:

- a balanced diet (reduce caffeine and salt intake)
- perform physical activity (walking and aerobics)
- lose weight, if you are overweight
- manage anxiety (yoga, recreational sports, etc.)

Hope to have been helpful!

Greetings!

Dr. Iliri
