Hi welcome to the health care magic
Losartan is angiotensin receptor blocker and hydrochlorthiazide is diuretic drug...
So these combination drug doesnt contain any beta blocker...
You can take this medicine and life style changes also done
Take low salt diet...
Drink more water
Regular exercise done.... Esp... One hour Brisk walking four days in a week
High fatty food restricted
Your cardiac problem, endocrine disorder or kidney problem needs to be ruled out for rule out secondary hypertension
Take care
Consult physician for examination
