How does Losartan interact with diuretics like hydrochlorothiazide, and what benefits or risks arise when combining these medications for the treatment of hypertension or fluid retention?
Losartan and hydrochlorothiazide work synergistically to lower blood pressure. Losartan dilates blood vessels, while hydrochlorothiazide reduces fluid volume, enhancing antihypertensive effects but possibly increasing dehydration risk.
