Taught that Hyzaar is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension).
Taught that Hyzaar can infrequently raise or lower the potassium blood levels, which, in turn, rarely can cause serious side effects such as muscle weakness/cramping and/or very slow heartbeats.
Taught that Hyzaar is a combination of two (2) drugs: one drug relaxes the blood vessels and causes them to widen, while the other drug increases the amount of urine the body produces and, therefore, decreases excess water and salt in the body.
