How Repace H 12.5/50 works
Repace H 12.5/50 is a combination of two medicines: Losartan and Hydrochlorothiazide, which lowers the blood pressure effectively. Losartan is an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB). It works by blocking the hormone angiotensin thereby relaxing blood vessels. This allows the blood to flow more smoothly and the heart to pump more efficiently. Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic that removes extra water and certain electrolytes from the body. Over time it also relaxes blood vessels and improves blood flow.

Brief Description
Indication
Hypertension, Stroke, risk reduction of hypertensive or LVH patients
Adult Dose
Hypertension
Initial: 50 mg/12.5 mg PO qDay
If dose titrated upward, do not to exceed final titration of 100 mg/25 mg PO qDay or 50 mg/12.5 mg PO q12hr
Decrease losartan to 25 mg PO qDay initially if volume depleted
Child Dose
Safety and efficacy not established
Renal Dose
Renal impairment
CrCl 30 mL/min: No dosage adjustment required
Contraindication
Pregnancy, lactation; intravascular volume depletion.
Mode of Action
Hydrochlorothiazide increases renal excretion of sodium and chloride and reduces cardiac load. Losartan is an angiotensin II receptor (type AT1) antagonist antihypertensive which acts by blocking the actions of angiotensin II of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. The drug and its active metabolite selectively block the vasoconstrictor and aldosterone secreting effects of angiotensin II. The two drugs exert additive effects in hypertension.
Precaution
Existing electrolyte disturbances; hepatic cirrhosis; severe hepatic failure; oedema; elderly (>75 yr); renal impairment; hepatic impairment; diabetes, gout, hyperlipidaemia; hyperuricaemia; ECG: LVH and/or ventricular ectopics extrasystoles); volume depleted patients; patients on diuretics and salt restriction; renal artery stenosis; aortic and mitral stenosis. Monitor potassium concentration. Discontinue before performing tests for parathyroid function.
Lactation: Discontinue drug or do not nurse
Side Effect
>10%
Losartan
Fatigue (14%),Hypoglycemia (14%),Chest pain (12%),Cough, incidence higher in previous cough related to ACE therapy (3-11%)

Hydrochlorothiazide

Interaction

Do not co-administer w/ aliskiren in patients w/ diabetes & renal impairment. Losartan: Rifampin & fluconazole. Increased serum potassium w/ K-sparing diuretics (eg spironolactone, triamterene, amiloride), K supplements or salt substitutes containing K. Hydrochlorothiazide: Potentiate orthostatic hypotension w/ alcohol, barbiturates or narcotics. Antidiabetic drugs (oral agents, insulin), other antihypertensive drugs. Impaired absorption w/ cholestyramine & colestipol resins. Intensified electrolyte depletion w/ corticosteroids, ACTH, glycyrrhizin (liquorice).
