Hi, Sunil! How are you?

And no, This medication, which is a combination of Losartan and Hydrochlorothiazide is often given to diabetics to help protect their kidneys, since they can be very prone to suffering damage.

Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, headache and increase urination.

You can learn more Losartan details here and there are more Hydrochlorothiazide details here.

Are there any other questions or concerns?

I have just been put on losartan/hctz. I am going into stage 4 kidney disease. Where as 2 years ago, I was in the earliest stages. My life span is maybe 3 years, My doctor gave me a low potassium list, but on line they show about a 75mg difference from my doctor's list. There are a lot of differences in mgs. between the two lists
