A member asked:

My dr prescribed 50 mg of losartan and 25 mg of hctz (hydrochlorothiazide). is this a normal combination?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Very normal: Sure is. Like peanut butter and jelly. Peas and carrots. Hugs and kisses. That combination is effective, safe, and used very commonly because the losartan helps cancel a troublesome side effect of hctz (hydrochlorothiazide) (potassium wasting) and hctz (hydrochlorothiazide) potentiates the effect of losartan. Your dr is on the ball.

Good morning doctors. My doctor prescribed 100 mg Losartan HCTZ. I read on the Healthtap Website that there are issues with sunlight exposure with this medication. I am going on a Caribbean cruise--is it safe to be outside while on this medication?
