Hyzaar is a combination blood pressure tablet containing losartan potassium and hydrochlorothiazide. It can be bought online through BorderFreeHealth, with the dose or strength chosen to match the directions from your clinician. Common strengths include Hyzaar 50/12.5 mg tablets, Hyzaar 100/12.5 mg tablets, and Hyzaar 100/25 mg tablets.
Hyzaar is used for hypertension, also called high blood pressure. The two active ingredients work in different ways, so the combination may help when a single medicine does not provide enough control. Use it consistently and keep blood pressure follow-up appointments, because high blood pressure often causes no symptoms.
Hyzaar Price and Strength Selection
The Hyzaar price can vary by strength, quantity, manufacturer supply, and the pharmacy source used for your order. During ordering, select the Hyzaar tablet strength that matches your current treatment plan. Do not choose a higher or lower strength to change cost unless your clinician has approved that change.
People often compare the cost of Hyzaar with the cash price of separate losartan and hydrochlorothiazide tablets. A fixed-dose combination may reduce pill burden, but it also limits how each ingredient can be adjusted. If your blood pressure, potassium, sodium, kidney function, or gout history changes, your clinician may decide that separate tablets are easier to tailor.
BorderFreeHealth provides U.S. delivery from Canada for eligible orders, and checkout shows current product and service information before you place the order. If you pay out of pocket, consider the total cost of the selected strength and quantity, not just the single-tablet price.
Quick tip: Keep the bottle label from your most recent fill nearby so the strength you choose matches your current directions.
What Hyzaar Treats
Hyzaar is a blood pressure medication for adults with hypertension. Lowering high blood pressure helps reduce the risk of serious cardiovascular events such as stroke and heart attack when treatment is part of an overall plan. Your clinician may also recommend diet, sodium reduction, activity, weight management, and home blood pressure checks.
Hypertension treatment is individualized. Some people begin with one medicine, while others need two or more medicines to reach a target range. Hyzaar losartan hydrochlorothiazide tablets combine an angiotensin receptor blocker with a thiazide diuretic, which can be useful when both mechanisms fit the treatment plan.

How the Two Ingredients Work
Losartan is an angiotensin II receptor blocker, often called an ARB. Angiotensin II can tighten blood vessels and raise blood pressure. By blocking that effect, losartan helps blood vessels relax.
Hydrochlorothiazide is a thiazide diuretic, sometimes called a water pill. It helps the kidneys remove extra salt and water, which can lower blood pressure. The combination addresses blood vessel tightening and fluid-related pressure at the same time.
Hyzaar and losartan are not the same medicine. Losartan is one active ingredient in Hyzaar, while Hyzaar also contains hydrochlorothiazide. If you are sensitive to diuretics, have gout, or have electrolyte problems, that difference matters.
Tablet Strengths and Generic Naming
Published Hyzaar tablet strengths include 50/12.5 mg, 100/12.5 mg, and 100/25 mg. The first number refers to losartan potassium. The second number refers to hydrochlorothiazide. For example, Losartan potassium HCTZ 100/12.5 contains 100 mg losartan potassium and 12.5 mg hydrochlorothiazide.
The generic name for Hyzaar is losartan potassium and hydrochlorothiazide. You may also see terms such as Losartan HCTZ tablets, Generic Hyzaar, or generic for Hyzaar 100/25. Brand and generic availability can differ by country, manufacturer, and supply channel, so use the medication name, strength, and active ingredients on the label to confirm what you receive.
| Strength wording | What it means |
|---|---|
| Hyzaar 50/12.5 mg tablet | 50 mg losartan potassium plus 12.5 mg hydrochlorothiazide |
| Hyzaar 100/12.5 mg tablet | 100 mg losartan potassium plus 12.5 mg hydrochlorothiazide |
| Hyzaar 100/25 mg tablet | 100 mg losartan potassium plus 25 mg hydrochlorothiazide |
How to Take Hyzaar
Hyzaar is usually taken once daily. It may be taken with or without food. Try to take it at the same time each day, because a steady routine helps maintain blood pressure control and reduces missed doses.
Swallow the tablet with water. Stand up slowly if you feel lightheaded, especially when starting therapy or after a dose change. Alcohol can worsen dizziness, so ask your clinician what limit is appropriate for you.
If you miss a dose, take it when remembered the same day. If it is nearly time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and return to the usual schedule. Do not take two doses at once to catch up.
Monitoring and What to Expect
Blood pressure may improve gradually with regular use, but many people do not feel different. That is why home readings and clinic checks matter. Bring a written or digital blood pressure log to appointments so decisions are based on trends.
Your clinician may monitor kidney function, sodium, potassium, and other electrolytes. Monitoring is especially important if you have kidney disease, diabetes, dehydration, a low-salt diet, vomiting, diarrhea, or take other medicines that affect potassium or kidney function.
Hyzaar is not a weight-loss medicine and is not expected to cause meaningful fat loss. The diuretic ingredient may change fluid balance, and some people notice changes in urination. Report sudden swelling, dehydration symptoms, or unexpected weight changes to a healthcare professional.
Side Effects, Warnings, and When to Get Help
Common side effects can include dizziness, lightheadedness, tiredness, headache, increased urination, and photosensitivity. Some people may develop changes in sodium, potassium, uric acid, or kidney lab results. Hydrochlorothiazide can trigger gout flares in susceptible people.
Serious reactions need prompt medical attention. Seek urgent help for swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat; trouble breathing; fainting; severe weakness; very low urine output; severe skin reaction; or symptoms of major electrolyte disturbance such as confusion, irregular heartbeat, or severe muscle cramps.
Hyzaar carries a warning for fetal toxicity. Medicines that affect the renin-angiotensin system can harm a developing fetus. If pregnancy is detected, contact a healthcare professional right away. Discuss pregnancy plans before using this type of blood pressure medicine.
Hyzaar may not be appropriate for people with anuria, hypersensitivity to any ingredient, severe kidney problems, severe liver problems, or a history of certain allergic reactions. People with diabetes should not combine aliskiren with losartan-containing therapy. Your clinician can assess whether your medical history supports continued use.
Drug Interactions and Food Considerations
Tell your healthcare professional about all medicines, vitamins, and supplements. Important interactions include NSAIDs such as ibuprofen or naproxen, potassium supplements, salt substitutes containing potassium, lithium, other diuretics, other blood pressure medicines, aliskiren, and some bile acid sequestrants.
Foods do not usually need to be avoided solely because of Hyzaar, but potassium intake deserves attention. Losartan can raise potassium in some people, while hydrochlorothiazide can lower it in others. Do not start potassium supplements or potassium salt substitutes unless your clinician recommends them.
Hydration also matters. Excess sweating, vomiting, diarrhea, or very low fluid intake can increase the chance of dizziness, kidney stress, or electrolyte problems. Ask for guidance if you become acutely ill or cannot keep fluids down.
Storage, Travel, and Refill Planning
Store Hyzaar tablets at room temperature in a dry place, away from excess heat and moisture. Keep tablets in the original child-resistant container with the pharmacy label attached. Avoid bathroom storage because humidity can affect tablets.
When traveling, keep Hyzaar in carry-on luggage with a current medication list. A pill organizer can help with daily routine, but keep the labeled bottle available for identification. For cross-border orders, Hyzaar ships to US addresses with prompt, express shipping as part of the order process.
Plan refills before the bottle is nearly empty. Blood pressure treatment works best when there are no avoidable gaps. Calendar reminders, home blood pressure logs, and medication lists can make refill planning easier.
Related Choices and Comparison Points
Hyzaar may be considered when a single blood pressure medicine is not enough or when one tablet is simpler than two separate medicines. It is not automatically better than separate tablets. Separate losartan and hydrochlorothiazide may allow finer adjustment if one ingredient needs to change.
People who do not need a diuretic may be treated with an ARB alone, while others may need a different class such as an ACE inhibitor, calcium channel blocker, beta blocker, or another diuretic. The right choice depends on blood pressure patterns, kidney function, side effects, other conditions, and lab results.

What is Hyzaar used for?
Hyzaar is used to treat high blood pressure in adults. It combines losartan potassium, an angiotensin receptor blocker, with hydrochlorothiazide, a thiazide diuretic.
Are Hyzaar and losartan the same?
No. Losartan is one ingredient in Hyzaar. Hyzaar also contains hydrochlorothiazide, so it has an added diuretic effect and different monitoring considerations.
Does Hyzaar cause weight gain?
Hyzaar is not known as a weight-gain medicine. Because it contains a diuretic, changes in body fluid may affect weight. Report sudden or unexplained weight changes to a healthcare professional.
What foods should be avoided while taking Hyzaar?
There is no single required food avoidance list for everyone. Ask before using potassium supplements or potassium salt substitutes, and follow any sodium or fluid guidance from your clinician.
What are common Hyzaar side effects?
Common effects can include dizziness, lightheadedness, headache, tiredness, increased urination, and changes in electrolytes. Serious swelling, breathing trouble, fainting, or very low urine output needs urgent care.
How should Hyzaar tablets be stored?
