HYPART-H Tablets can be used in the treatment of following conditions:

- Hypertension with Left Ventricular Hypertrophy.
- Prevention of stroke, heart attacks and kidney problems.
Losartan blocks the angiotensin receptor. By blocking the action of angiotensin, losartan relaxes the muscles, dilates blood vessels and thereby reduces blood pressure.
Hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) is a diuretic used for treating high blood pressure (hypertension) and accumulation of fluid. It blocks salt and fluid reabsorption in the kidneys, causing an increased amount of urine containing salt (diuresis). The mechanism of its action in lowering high blood pressure is not well understood.
