Uses

High blood pressure (hypertension)

Medicinal Benefits

Plelos Clp 50mg/12.5mg Tablet is an anti-hypertensive medication that treats high blood pressure (hypertension). It consists of Losartan and Chlorthalidone. Losartan is an angiotensin II receptor antagonist. It lowers the blood pressure and increases the blood flow by inhibiting angiotensin (a hormone that constricts blood vessels). Losartan is also used to treat stroke and slow down kidney damage in people with type 2 diabetes. It also increases urinary flow rate and aids in the excretion of electrolytes like chloride, magnesium, calcium and phosphate and by-products like uric acid. Chlorthalidone is a thiazide diuretic (water pill) with antihypertensive activity. It inhibits sodium and chloride reabsorption from absorbing excess salts that cause fluid retention or build-up. Chlorthalidone lowers blood pressure by decreasing the amount of blood the heart pumps (cardiac output) and reducing plasma and extracellular fluid volume (body fluids outside the cells).
