Hyzaar (active ingredients: losartan and hydrochlorothiazide) is a prescription medication used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) in adults.

Hyzaar combines two medications that work together to lower blood pressure. It is often prescribed when treatment with losartan alone or hydrochlorothiazide alone does not provide adequate blood pressure control.

Hypertension (High Blood Pressure)

High blood pressure is a condition in which the force of blood against the walls of your arteries remains consistently too high. Over time, uncontrolled hypertension can increase your risk of serious health problems, including:

  • Heart attack.
  • Stroke.
  • Heart failure.
  • Kidney disease.
  • Vision problems.

Many people with high blood pressure do not have any symptoms, which is why it is often called the “silent killer.” Lowering blood pressure helps reduce the risk of these complications and supports long-term heart and blood vessel health.

How Does Hyzaar Work?

Hyzaar contains two medications that work in different ways to lower blood pressure.

Losartan

Losartan belongs to a group of medications called angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs).

It works by blocking the effects of angiotensin II, a natural substance that causes blood vessels to tighten and narrow. By blocking this action, losartan helps:

  • Relax and widen blood vessels.
  • Improve blood flow.
  • Lower blood pressure.
  • Reduce the workload on the heart.

Hydrochlorothiazide

Hydrochlorothiazide belongs to a group of medications called thiazide diuretics, often referred to as “water pills.”

It works by helping your kidneys remove excess salt (sodium) and water from your body through urine. This reduces the amount of fluid circulating in your bloodstream, which helps lower blood pressure.

Combined Benefits

By combining these two medications, Hyzaar helps:

Lower high blood pressure more effectively than either medication alone in many people.

  • Improve blood flow.
  • Reduce strain on the heart.
  • Lower the risk of serious complications related to uncontrolled hypertension, such as heart attack, stroke, and kidney disease.

For the best results, continue taking Hyzaar exactly as prescribed, even if you feel well. High blood pressure often has no noticeable symptoms, and stopping your medication without medical advice may cause your blood pressure to rise again.

Hyzaar is available as an oral tablet that should be taken exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider.

Hyzaar is usually taken once daily and may be taken with or without food. Try to take your dose at the same time each day to help maintain a consistent level of medication in your body.

Because Hyzaar contains hydrochlorothiazide, a diuretic (“water pill”), it may increase urination, especially when you first start taking it. If this becomes bothersome, consider taking your dose at least 4 hours before bedtime to help reduce the need to wake up during the night to urinate.

Always follow your healthcare provider’s instructions regarding your dose and do not change your dosing schedule without consulting them first.

Recommended Dosage

Adults with Hypertension

The usual starting dose is:

  • Hyzaar 50 mg/12.5 mg (losartan 50 mg and hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg) once daily.

If your blood pressure is not adequately controlled, your healthcare provider may increase your dose after about 3 weeks of treatment.

The maximum recommended daily dose is:

  • Hyzaar 100 mg/25 mg (losartan 100 mg and hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg) once daily.

Your healthcare provider will prescribe the lowest effective dose needed to control your blood pressure.

Important Tips

  • Take Hyzaar once a day at the same time each day.
  • You may take it with or without food.
  • If increased urination occurs, taking your dose earlier in the day may help reduce nighttime bathroom trips.
  • Continue taking Hyzaar even if you feel well. High blood pressure often has no noticeable symptoms, and stopping the medication without medical advice may cause your blood pressure to rise again.
  • Your healthcare provider may recommend regular monitoring of your blood pressure, kidney function, and electrolyte levels while you are taking Hyzaar.

Drug Interactions

Hyzaar may interact with certain medications, vitamins, and herbal supplements.

Before starting treatment, tell your healthcare provider about all prescription medications, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal products you take. Keep an up-to-date list of your medications and share it with every healthcare provider involved in your care.

Do not start, stop, or change any medication without first consulting your healthcare provider.

Tell Your Healthcare Provider About Your Medical History

Before taking Hyzaar, let your healthcare provider know if you have or have ever had:

  • Kidney disease.
  • Liver disease.
  • Gout.
  • Lupus.
  • Dehydration.
  • High potassium levels (hyperkalemia).
  • A history of skin cancer.

Your healthcare provider may recommend regular blood tests to monitor your kidney function, potassium levels, and other electrolytes during treatment.

Dizziness

Hyzaar may cause dizziness or lightheadedness, especially when you first start taking it or after your dose is increased.

Until you know how Hyzaar affects you, do not drive, operate machinery, or perform activities that require alertness.

Standing up slowly from a sitting or lying position may help reduce dizziness.

Alcohol and Marijuana

Drinking alcohol or using marijuana (cannabis) while taking Hyzaar may increase dizziness, drowsiness, or lightheadedness.

Limit or avoid alcohol, and talk to your healthcare provider if you use marijuana or cannabis products.

Dehydration

Because Hyzaar contains a diuretic (“water pill”), it can increase the risk of dehydration, especially if you experience:

  • Severe sweating.
  • Prolonged diarrhea.
  • Persistent vomiting.

Drink plenty of fluids unless your healthcare provider has advised you to limit your fluid intake. Contact your healthcare provider if you develop prolonged vomiting, diarrhea, or signs of dehydration, such as:

  • Extreme thirst.
  • Dry mouth.
  • Dizziness.
  • Weakness.
  • Decreased urination.

Pregnancy

Do not take Hyzaar during pregnancy.

Hyzaar can cause serious harm or death to an unborn baby, especially if taken during the second or third trimester.

If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or think you may be pregnant, tell your healthcare provider immediately. If pregnancy occurs while you are taking Hyzaar, stop taking the medication and contact your healthcare provider as soon as possible. Your healthcare provider will recommend a safer alternative to control your blood pressure during pregnancy.

Regular Monitoring

While taking Hyzaar, your healthcare provider may regularly monitor your:

  • Blood pressure.
  • Kidney function.
  • Potassium and other electrolyte levels.

Keeping your follow-up appointments and having regular blood tests can help ensure the medication remains safe and effective.

When is Hyzaar prescribed?

Hyzaar is primarily prescribed to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) in adults. It is commonly used when treatment with losartan alone or hydrochlorothiazide alone does not adequately control blood pressure. Your healthcare provider may also prescribe Hyzaar for other conditions if they determine it is appropriate for your individual needs.

Is Hyzaar safe to use during pregnancy?

No. Hyzaar should not be used during pregnancy because it can harm or even cause the death of an unborn baby, particularly during the second and third trimesters. If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or think you may be pregnant while taking Hyzaar, contact your healthcare provider immediately. Your healthcare provider will recommend a safer alternative to manage your blood pressure.

Can Hyzaar be taken with other medications?

Yes, but caution is needed. Hyzaar may interact with certain medications, including nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen and naproxen, potassium supplements or salt substitutes containing potassium, lithium, and other medications used to lower blood pressure. Before starting Hyzaar, tell your healthcare provider about all prescription medications, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements you are taking so they can check for potential drug interactions and determine whether any changes to your treatment are needed.

Can Hyzaar affect kidney function?

Yes, although it is uncommon. Hyzaar may affect kidney function, particularly in people with existing kidney disease, severe dehydration, heart failure, or those taking certain medications that affect the kidneys. Your healthcare provider may monitor your kidney function with regular blood tests during treatment. Contact your healthcare provider if you notice a significant decrease in urination, swelling, or other symptoms that may suggest kidney problems.

How should Hyzaar be stored?

Store Hyzaar at room temperature, away from excess heat, moisture, and direct light. Keep the tablets in their original container, tightly closed, and out of the reach of children and pets. Do not store the medication in the bathroom, where humidity may affect its quality.
