Description

Bepsar Plus 50/12.5mg is a combination oral tablet manufactured by Nabiqasim Industries, bringing together Losartan Potassium and Hydrochlorothiazide in a single dose. Supplied as 20 tablets per pack, it is intended for patients whose blood pressure needs to be managed through two different mechanisms rather than a single medicine alone.

Ingredients

Each tablet contains Losartan Potassium 50mg, an angiotensin II receptor blocker, combined with Hydrochlorothiazide 12.5mg, a thiazide diuretic, along with standard pharmaceutical excipients that support the tablet’s stability and absorption.

Dosage Form

Bepsar Plus is manufactured as an oral tablet, packaged 20 tablets per box, meant to be swallowed whole with water.

Uses

Bepsar Plus 50/12.5mg is used in the management of hypertension in patients who are not adequately controlled on a single blood pressure medicine alone. Losartan works by blocking the effects of a hormone that narrows blood vessels, while Hydrochlorothiazide helps the body eliminate excess water and salt through increased urine output, together supporting more effective blood pressure reduction. It may also be used in select cases involving diabetic kidney-related complications, as determined by a physician.

How to Use

Bepsar Plus is generally taken once daily, with or without food, though taking it on an empty stomach may be preferred by some patients as advised by their doctor. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water; do not crush or chew it. Since this medicine increases urine output, it is often best taken earlier in the day to avoid nighttime disruption. If a dose is missed, take it as soon as remembered the same day, but do not double the dose if the missed one is not recalled until later. Avoid excessive alcohol intake and strenuous activity in hot weather while on this medicine, as it may increase the risk of dizziness or dehydration.

Side Effects

Commonly reported effects include dizziness, especially when standing up quickly, headache, and fatigue. Some patients experience increased urination, mild muscle cramps, or changes in blood potassium and sodium levels due to the diuretic component. Less frequently, chest pain, palpitations, or swelling of the face, mouth, or throat may occur, and these require urgent medical attention. Regular monitoring of blood pressure and electrolyte levels may be recommended during treatment.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Bepsar Plus is not recommended during pregnancy, as medicines affecting the angiotensin system can pose risks to the developing baby, particularly in the second and third trimesters. It is also generally discouraged during breastfeeding. Women who are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or nursing should consult their doctor immediately for an alternative treatment approach.

Storage Instructions

Store Bepsar Plus tablets in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep the tablets in their original packaging until needed, and store safely out of children’s reach. Do not use tablets beyond their expiry date.

FAQs

Can I take potassium supplements while on Bepsar Plus?

No, potassium supplements or salt substitutes should not be used without your doctor’s guidance, since this combination can affect potassium balance in the body.

Why is this medicine sometimes taken in the morning?

Because it increases urine output, morning dosing is often preferred to avoid frequent nighttime bathroom trips.

Can Bepsar Plus be stopped once blood pressure normalizes?

No, hypertension usually requires ongoing management, and stopping suddenly without medical advice can cause blood pressure to rise again.

Is dizziness common when starting this medicine?

Yes, particularly when standing up quickly, so changing positions slowly is recommended, especially during the first few weeks of treatment.
