Introduction to Bristan HT Tablet

Bristan HT Tablet is a combo of two medications utilized to manage elevated blood pressure (hypertension).

  • Take this medicine with consistency. This drug contains a diuretic and leads to frequent urination so avoid taking the drug within four hours of going to bed. 
  • Do not stop the drug even if you feel well until your doctor says so; otherwise, drug termination may pose the risk of heart attack and stroke.  
  • This medication might induce faintness or wooziness, so rise slowly when transitioning from a sitting or lying position to prevent falling. 

How Bristan HT Tablet works

The Bristan HT Tablet is a combination of two effective medications for lowering blood pressure. Losartan, a type of angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB), and thiazide diuretics (Hydrochlorothiazide) aid in the relaxation of blood vessels by obstructing a hormone called angiotensin. This promotes smoother blood circulation and boosts the efficiency of the heart's pumping action. Hydrochlorothiazide assists your body in removing extra salt and water.
