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.
