Introduction
Lossi AM 50mg/5mg Tablet is a combination medication used to manage high blood pressure. It contains Losartan, an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB), and Amlodipine, a calcium channel blocker (CCB). These components work together to relax blood vessels, making it easier for the heart to pump blood. This helps in reducing the risk of heart attacks and strokes. While effective, it may cause side effects such as dizziness, sleepiness, and swelling of the ankles or feet. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and consult a doctor for any concerns, especially during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
