Losartan potassium and hydrochlorothiazide tablet USP 50 mg/12.5 mg, losartan potassium and hydrochlorothiazide tablet USP 100 mg/12.5 mg and losartan potassium and hydrochlorothiazide tablet USP 100 mg/25 mg combine an angiotensin II receptor blocker acting on the AT 1 receptor subtype and a diuretic, hydrochlorothiazide. Losartan potassium, a non-peptide molecule, is chemically described as 2-butyl-4-chloro-1-[ p- ( o -1 H- tetrazol-5-ylphenyl)benzyl]imidazole-5-methanol monopotassium salt. Its empirical formula is C 22 H 22 ClKN 6 O, and its structural formula is: Losartan potassium, USP is a white to off-white free-flowing crystalline powder with a molecular weight of 461.01. It is freely soluble in water, soluble in alcohols, and slightly soluble in common organic solvents, such as acetonitrile and methyl ethyl ketone. Oxidation of the 5-hydroxymethyl group on the imidazole ring results in the active metabolite of losartan. Hydrochlorothiazide is 6-chloro-3,4-dihydro-2 H -1,2,4-benzothiadiazine-7-sulfonamide 1,1-dioxide. Its empirical formula is C 7 H 8 ClN 3 O 4 S 2 and its structural formula is: Hydrochlorothiazide, USP is a white, or practically white, crystalline powder with a molecular weight of 297.74, which is slightly soluble in water, but freely soluble in sodium hydroxide solution. Losartan potassium and hydrochlorothiazide tablets USP are available for oral administration in three tablet combinations of losartan USP and hydrochlorothiazide USP. Losartan potassium and hydrochlorothiazide tablet USP 50 mg/12.5 mg contain 50 mg of losartan potassium USP and 12.5 mg of hydrochlorothiazide USP. Losartan potassium and hydrochlorothiazide tablet USP 100 mg/12.5 mg contain 100 mg of losartan potassium USP and 12.5 mg of hydrochlorothiazide USP. Losartan potassium and hydrochlorothiazide tablet USP 100 mg/25 mg contain 100 mg of losartan potassium USP and 25 mg of hydrochlorothiazide USP.
