Xavor-DIU Tablets 50mg/12.5mg – Effective Blood Pressure Management
Xavor-DIU tablets are a combination medication designed to help manage high blood pressure. The tablets contain losartan potassium, an angiotensin II receptor antagonist, and hydrochlorothiazide, a diuretic. This combination works to relax blood vessels and increase urine production, which helps reduce blood pressure.
How It Works:
- Losartan Potassium: Prevents the binding of angiotensin II to blood vessel receptors, causing them to relax and lower blood pressure.
- Hydrochlorothiazide: Increases urine production by making the kidneys pass more water and salt, also helping to reduce blood pressure.
Uses:
Xavor-DIU tablets are prescribed for the treatment of hypertension, which can be caused by genetic or environmental factors. They are particularly useful for individuals who need a combination therapy to effectively manage their blood pressure.
Side Effects:
Common side effects include cough, upper airway infection, congestion in the nose, sinusitis, diarrhea, abdominal pain, nausea, indigestion, muscle pain or cramps, leg pain, back pain, insomnia, headache, dizziness, weakness, and tiredness. Less common side effects include increased potassium levels, decreased hemoglobin levels, changes in kidney function, low blood sugar, loss of appetite, increased uric acid levels, and abnormal blood electrolyte levels.
Precautions:
- Allergies: Do not take Xavor-DIU if you are allergic to losartan, hydrochlorothiazide, or other sulfonamide-derived substances.
- Liver Function: Avoid if you have severely impaired liver function.
- Kidney Function: Regular monitoring of kidney function and blood pressure is recommended.
- Other Medications: Special precautions are necessary if you are taking other diuretics, laxatives, glycyrrhizin, medicines for gout, or medications to control heart rhythm or diabetes.
Dosage:
The recommended dosage is one tablet daily, which can be increased to a maximum of 100 mg of losartan potassium if necessary. However, this medication is not recommended for children.
