What is Hyzaar

Losartan

The Generic name of this drug

Treatment Summary

Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic drug used to treat fluid retention and high blood pressure. It is the most commonly prescribed thiazide diuretic, but is being replaced by angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors in many cases. Combination products containing both hydrochlorothiazide and either angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin II receptor blockers are widely available. The drug was approved by the FDA in 1959.

Effectiveness

How Hyzaar Affects Patients

Hydrochlorothiazide helps the body get rid of extra water by stopping the kidneys from reabsorbing sodium and water. The amount of hydrochlorothiazide taken can vary, but it is usually between 25 and 100mg. Care should be taken when taking this medication if the patient has poor kidney or liver function.

How Hyzaar works in the body

Hydrochlorothiazide is taken up into cells of the distal convoluted tubule in your kidneys, then transported to the lumen. Usually, sodium is reabsorbed into cells and pumped out, creating a concentration gradient that draws water back into the cells. Hydrochlorothiazide stops this process by blocking a specific transporter that moves sodium and chloride out of the cell. When this transporter is stopped, less water is reabsorbed, allowing it to pass through the kidneys and be removed from the body.

When to interrupt dosage

The proposed measure of Hyzaar is contingent upon the identified issue, including Antepartum magnesium sulfate prophylaxis, blood pressure inadequately regulated with monotherapy and antihypertensives. The extent of dosage fluctuates as per the method of delivery (e.g. Tablet, coated - Oral or Oral) featured in the table beneath.

Hyzaar for High Blood Pressure

This medication caused me to have cramps in my feet, which I know is from a decrease in my potassium levels. Even with supplements and increased water intake, the cramping still occurred.

Hyzaar for High Blood Pressure

I was originally prescribed a high dose, but I cut it in half because I felt terrible and my mouth was constantly dry. Even at the lower dosage, I still experienced pressure in my head and chest pain, as well as an eye hemorrhage (not sure if that's related to the medication or not). The silver lining is that it did help with the swelling in my legs.

CX11 for Type 2 Diabetes

18 - 75
All Sexes
Birmingham, AL

This study is testing whether a new medication called CX11 works and is safe for participants with type 2 diabetes who have not reached good blood sugar control while taking a steady dose of metformin, with or without a steady dose of an SGLT2 inhibitor, for at least 90 days. The study is being done at multiple medical centers. Participants are assigned by chance (randomized) to different groups, and neither the participants nor the study staff know which group they're in (double-blind). The groups are compared side by side (parallel), and some participants will receive inactive pills (placebo) to help measure the true effect of the study drug. After screening, participants will be randomly placed into one of six groups, with equal chances of being in any group. Each group will receive a different dose of CX11 or a placebo. Treatment will last 24 weeks. After that, all participants will have a 2-week follow-up period to check on safety.

Food is Medicine for High Blood Pressure and Obesity

Any Age
All Sexes
Chicago, IL

The goal of this clinical trial is to treat both hypertension and obesity in adults using a food is medicine framework. Participants will be randomized 1:1 to FIM+DASH or usual-care control. The 24-week trial includes a 12-week FIM+DASH intervention followed by a 12-week maintenance period and leverages existing partnerships with community-based organizations for home food delivery and culinary skill-skill building. The main questions it aims to answer are: (1) What is the effect of FIM+DASH vs. usual care control on blood pressure? (2) What is the effect of FIM+DASH vs. usual care control on DASH diet adherence (diet quality), body weight, and waist circumference? (3) How to identify factors associated with the sustainability and scalability of FIM+DASH in real-world settings?

MetSense Risk Flag for Type 2 Diabetes

18+
All Sexes
Pleasanton, CA

People with serious mental illness have high risk for type 2 diabetes due to multiple risk factors, including the metabolic side effects of psychotropic medications that are used to treat these conditions. Type 2 diabetes is preventable through lifestyle and pharmacological interventions, but many people with serious mental illness do not receive regular screening for type 2 diabetes risk. In many health care settings, clinical pharmacists are increasingly managing patients with serious mental illness and have expertise in monitoring the metabolic side effects of psychotropic medications. This study evaluates the feasibility and acceptability of using a diabetes prediction model that is based on electronic health record data (the MetSense risk flag) to alert clinical pharmacists about patients who are at high diabetes risk, prompting these clinicians to prioritize diabetes risk management services.

Cuffless PPG Monitor for High Blood Pressure

18+
All Sexes
Miami, FL

This study aims to validate the accuracy and reliability of blood pressure (BP) estimates obtained over 24 hours using a PPG-based chest-patch device compared to the gold standard ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) method using an upper arm cuff-based oscillometric BP device, in both hypertensive and normotensive individuals referred by their provider to undergo a 24-hours ABPM for clinical indication. The Awake/Asleep test, which is the primary test recommended for automated wearable cuffless BP devices that are cuff-calibrated (based on the 2023 European Society of Hypertension (ESH) recommendations for the validation of cuffless blood pressure measuring devices), will be conducted in this study. The secondary aim of the study is to assess the feasibility and convenience of the PPG-based device.
