Child dose

There is no experience in using this medication in children and adolescents, so losartan-hydrochlorothiazide combination should not be administered to this population.

This medication may cause serious harm to the fetus when taken during pregnancy, especially in the second and third trimesters, so it should be discontinued immediately if pregnancy is confirmed. This medication should not be used in patients with certain allergies, severely impaired kidney function, severely impaired liver function, and patients with specific electrolyte abnormalities. Patients with low blood pressure or kidney issues, patients with liver disease, diabetes patients, and elderly individuals should take special caution when using this medication.
