Thanks for posting your concern on HCM!
I appreciate your concern regarding the safety profile of Covance D.
This medicine consists of two components Losartan and Hydrocholorothiazide.
Even though your BP appears to be normal, you will have to continue these medicine.
This medicine is known to cause the following side effect,,,Dry cough, rash, increased blood sugar, increased cholesterol, increased uric acid level.
As long as your BP is controlled you may take any branded preparations containing both the components like Lozar-H, Hyzaar-H, etc.
Take care of your health.
