what is the difference between these two drugs, E 49 (Hydrochlorothiazide and Losartan 25 mg / 100 mg) and Hyzaar 25 mg / 100 mg? Are they the same and if not why prescribe one over the other?

Hello, Kelly! How are you?

Hyzaar is the name brand, while the other is a generic that's just listed as the active ingredients, as all generics are and it really doesn't matter which one your doctor writes on the prescription pad. Unless there is some reason why you can only take the name brand, your pharmacy with automatically fill it with the generic.

Side effects to this medication may include nausea, dizziness, headache, hypotension and dehydration.

Are there any other questions or concerns?
