Losartan, an active ingredient in Losatan H Tablet, is an angiotensin II receptor blocker. It selectively blocks the binding of angiotensin II to its receptors that helps relax and widen the blood vessels, reducing peripheral resistance and blood pressure.

Hydrochlorothiazide, another active ingredient in Losatan H Tablet, is a thiazide diuretic that increases the excretion of sodium and water from the body through the kidneys. It promotes urine production and helps reduce fluid retention, ultimately leading to a decrease in blood volume and a subsequent lowering of blood pressure.

• Limit the intake of sodium (salt) to less than 5 gm a day to reduce fluid retention and control blood pressure. 
• Choose low-sodium alternatives, avoid adding extra salt to meals, and read food labels to identify high-sodium products. Opt for herbs and spices to enhance flavour instead of salt.
• Avoid processed and high-sodium foods.
• Control food portion sizes to prevent excessive calorie intake and weight gain, which can contribute to hypertension. Use smaller plates and practice portion control techniques.
• Limit alcohol intake to moderate levels. For men, this means up to two standard drinks per day, and for women, up to one standard drink per day. Excessive alcohol consumption can raise blood pressure.
• Engage in regular physical activity for at least 30 minutes daily or as your doctor advises. Incorporate aerobic exercises like brisk walking, jogging, cycling, or swimming to improve cardiovascular health and manage weight.

• Practice stress-management techniques like deep breathing exercises, meditation, yoga, or engaging in hobbies and activities that promote relaxation. 
• Keep track of your blood pressure regularly and follow up with your doctor for proper monitoring and adjustments to your treatment plan.
