Xavor Diu Forte Tablet

Xavor Diu Forte Tablet is a tablet made by Ferozsons Laboratories Limited that contains Losartan + Hydrochlorothiazide, an angiotensin receptor blocker and diuretic combination for blood pressure. It is used for high blood pressure. Pack size: 10 tablets.

Uses of Xavor Diu Forte Tablet

Xavor Diu Forte Tablet is used to treat high blood pressure when a single medicine has not brought it down enough. Combining two medicines that work in different ways in one tablet often gives better control with fewer pills. Keeping blood pressure within target lowers the long-term risk of stroke, heart attack, heart failure and kidney damage, even though high blood pressure itself usually causes no symptoms.

How Xavor Diu Forte Tablet works

Losartan blocks the action of angiotensin II, a hormone that narrows blood vessels, so the vessels relax and widen. Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic that helps the kidneys remove extra salt and water. Together they lower blood pressure more than either does alone.
