Gabapentin is an anti-epileptic drug, also called an anticonvulsant. It affects chemicals and nerves in the body that are involved in the cause of seizures and some types of pain.

All brands of gabapentin are used in adults to treat neuropathic pain (nerve pain) caused by herpes virus or shingles (herpes zoster).

The Gralise brand of gabapentin is indicated for the management of neuropathic pain only. It is not used for epilepsy.

The Horizant brand of gabapentin, in addition to treating neuropathic pain, is also used to treat restless legs syndrome (RLS).

The Neurontin brand of gabapentin is also used to treat seizures in adults and children who are at least 3 years old, in addition to neuropathic pain.

Use only the brand and form of gabapentin your doctor has prescribed. Check your medicine each time you get a refill to make sure you receive the correct form.

• Generic Name: hydrochlorothiazide / losartan
• Dosage Forms: tablet, film coated
• Other Brand Names: Hyzaar

Hyzaar contains a combination of hydrochlorothiazide and losartan. Hydrochlorothiazide is a thiazide diuretic (water pill) that helps prevent your body from absorbing too much salt, which can cause fluid retention.

Losartan is an angiotensin II receptor antagonist (sometimes called an ARB blocker). Losartan keeps blood vessels from narrowing, which lowers blood pressure and improves blood flow.

Hyzaar is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension).

Hyzaar is also used to lower the risk of stroke in certain people with heart disease.
