Qsartan Plus SpecificationRequires Prescription (YES/NO)YesGenericsLosartan Potassium , HydrochlorothiazideUsed ForHypertensionHow it worksIt is a combination of an angiotensin II receptor antagonist (losartan) and a diuretic (hydrochlorothiazide). Angiotensin II is a substance produced in the body which binds to receptors in blood vessels, causing them to tighten. This results in an increase in blood pressure. Losartan prevents the binding of angiotensin II to these receptors, causing the blood vessels to relax which in turn lowers the blood pressure. Hydrochlorothiazide works by making the kidneys pass more water and salt. This also helps to reduce blood pressure.Qsartan Plus Usage And SafetyDosageLosartan Potassium , HydrochlorothiazideSide EffectsCough, upper airway infection, congestion in the nose, sinusitis, sinus disorder , Diarrhoea, abdominal pain, nausea, indigestion , Muscle pain or cramps, leg pain, back pain , Insomnia, headache, dizziness , Weakness, tiredness, chest pain , Increased potassium levels (which can cause an abnormal heart rhythm), decreased haemoglobin levels , Changes in kidney function including kidney failure , Low blood sugar (hypoglycaemia) , Loss of appetite, increased uric acid levels or frank gout, increased blood sugar levels, abnormal blood electrolyte levels , Anxiety, nervousness, panic disorder (recurring panic attacks), confusion, depression, abnormal dreams, sleep disorders, sleepiness, memory impairment.Drug InteractionsTrimethoprim , Diuretic agents , other medicines to reduce your blood pressure , steroids , medicines to treat cancer , painkillers , drugs for treatment of infections, including fungal infections , arthritis medicines , resins used for high cholesterol, such as colestyramine , medicines which relax your muscles , sleeping tablets , opioid medicines such as morphine , ?pressor amines? such as adrenaline or other drugs from the same group , oral agents for diabetes or insulins , anticholinergic agents (e.g. atropine, biperiden) , antipsychotics , antidepressants , carbamazepine.IndicationIt is indicated for the treatment of Hypertension.

QSITA 50 TABLET contains Sitagliptin, which belongs to the Anti-diabetic drug group. QSITA 50 TABLET is used in adults to treat type 2 diabetes alone or with other anti-diabetic medicines, diet, and exercise. Type 2 diabetes is a condition in which your body does not make enough insulin (a hormone that helps control your blood sugar levels) or the insulin that is produced does not work well. When this happens, glucose levels rise in the blood, leading to serious medical problems like heart or kidney disease and blindness. It can show symptoms like increased thirst, urination, and hunger, blurry vision, numb hands or feet, or tiredness. Sitagliptin works by slowing down the inactivation of gut hormones released after eating meals. This action increases insulin secretion and decreases glucagon release (a hormone that raises blood glucose level), resulting in an overall increase in blood glucose control. This medicine can be used alone or in combination with other medicines that lower blood sugar, along with food and exercise for diabetes. QSITA 100 TABLET is not recommended for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding; therefore consult your doctor before taking it. QSITA 50 TABLET is not recommended for children and adolescents under 18 years of age. The most common side effects of taking QSITA 50 TABLET are low blood sugar, headache, upper respiratory infection, stuffy or runny nose, sore throat, osteoarthritis, and arm or leg pain. Contact your doctor if any of the symptoms worsen.
