This tablet reduces body weight by removing water from body. I have lost 12 kgs in 8 months with dosage of one tablet per day in morning. Are there any other side effects apart from this?.

Hi, Mohan!

This medication is actually not intended to be used for weight loss. It contains Losartan, which is an ARB that's used to help treat high blood pressure and certain cardiac conditions, as well as Hydrochlorothiazide, which is the diuretic that helps remove excess fluid.

And yes, there may be other side effects, it is processed through the liver, so there is a chance that long term use could cause liver damage. You may also experience dizziness and nausea due to your blood pressure going low.

An even bigger concern is dehydration if you're removing too much fluid from your body.

Learn more Losartan details here and you can learn more Hydrochlorothiazide details here.

Additionally, after taking it for so long, it could be dangerous if you stop taking it abruptly, since that may cause a rebound effect that may include dangerously elevated heart rate and blood pressure.

Is your doctor aware that you're taking this?
