Exceeding a dose of Losartan Potassium 100 mg / Hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg per day is not recommended.

Child dose

There is no experience with the use in children and adolescents, so the combination of losartan and hydrochlorothiazide is not administered to children and adolescents.

This medication can cause serious harm to the fetus and newborn if taken during pregnancy, especially in the second and third trimesters, and must be discontinued immediately once pregnancy is confirmed.
