Losartan and hydrochlorothiazide tablets are not recommended for haemodialysis patients. Losartan/HCTZ tablets must not be used in patients with severe renal impairment (i.e. creatinine clearance <30 ml/min) (see section 4.3).
While taking losartan-hydrochlorothiazide, do not use potassium supplements or salt substitutes with potassium unless you have discussed this with your doctor. This is because in some people taking losartan-hydrochlorothiazide, potassium in the blood can increase or decrease to dangerous levels. Losartan-hydrochlorothiazide may affect electrolytes in the blood (including sodium, potassium, magnesium, and chloride).
