Hydrochlorothiazide and Losartan: Can You Take Them Together?

Here's what FDA-approved drug labeling shows.

MODERATE

Interaction Found

Taking these two blood pressure medicines together may harm your kidneys and raise potassium to unsafe levels. This combination doesn't work better than taking just one medicine, but it increases risks of kidney damage and high potassium.

What to do: Talk to your doctor about your current medicines. Don't stop taking them on your own. Your doctor may need to check your blood pressure, kidney function, and potassium levels with blood tests.
