Hyzaar

Hyzaar is a combination medication that contains losartan, an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), and hydrochlorothiazide, a thiazide diuretic. It is primarily used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) and to help reduce the risk of stroke in patients with high blood pressure and left ventricular hypertrophy. This combination helps to lower blood pressure by relaxing blood vessels and reducing fluid retention.

Comprehensive Drug Guide

How Does Hyzaar Work?

  • Losartan works by blocking the action of angiotensin II, a hormone that causes blood vessels to constrict. By preventing this action, losartan helps to relax and widen blood vessels, lowering blood pressure.
  • Hydrochlorothiazide promotes the excretion of sodium and water by the kidneys, which helps reduce blood volume and further lowers blood pressure.


Common Dosages

  • Tablets: Common dosages include 50 mg/12.5 mg, 100 mg/12.5 mg, and 100 mg/25 mg (losartan/hydrochlorothiazide).

Typical Dosing

  • The typical starting dose for Hyzaar is 50 mg/12.5 mg once daily, which may be adjusted based on blood pressure response.
  • The maximum recommended dose is 100 mg/25 mg once daily.


Typical Dosing

FDA Approved Indications

  • Management of hypertension
  • Reduction of stroke risk in patients with high blood pressure and left ventricular hypertrophy


Who Shouldn't Take Hyzaar?

  • Known hypersensitivity to losartan, hydrochlorothiazide, or any components of the formulation
  • Severe renal impairment
  • Anuria (inability to produce urine)
  • Pregnancy


Advice From The Pharmacist

  • Hyzaar should be taken at the same time each day, with or without food.
  • Monitor blood pressure regularly to ensure the medication is effective.
  • Advise patients to maintain adequate hydration and to be aware of signs of electrolyte imbalance, such as muscle cramps or weakness.


Side Effects of Hyzaar

Common Side Effects

  • Dizziness
  • Fatigue
  • Headache
  • Increased urination


Uncommon/Severe Side Effects

  • Severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis)
  • Low blood pressure (hypotension)
  • Electrolyte imbalances (such as low potassium levels)


Risks and Warnings of Hyzaar

  • Renal Impairment: Use with caution in patients with renal impairment, as it may worsen kidney function.
  • Pregnancy: Hyzaar should be discontinued as soon as pregnancy is detected due to potential harm to the fetus.
  • Electrolyte Imbalances: Monitor potassium levels, as thiazide diuretics can lead to low potassium (hypokalemia).


Interactions with Hyzaar

Common Drug Interactions

  • Other Antihypertensives: Caution should be exercised when using with other blood pressure medications, as this can lead to additive hypotensive effects.
  • Lithium: Co-administration with lithium may increase lithium levels and the risk of toxicity.
  • NSAIDs: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs may reduce the antihypertensive effect of Hyzaar and increase the risk of renal impairment.


Alternatives to Hyzaar

  • Losartan alone: For patients who may not need a diuretic.
  • Other ARBs: Such as valsartan or candesartan.
  • ACE Inhibitors: Such as lisinopril, which have a similar mechanism of action for blood pressure control.
