Losartan potassium is also a drug used for Blood pressure which belongs to a different class of drugs which acts in a different way to reduce BP

Triamterene HCZ -is a water pill which also is used for reducing blood pressure

Hydralazine HCL is also a BP lowering drug
Always make it a point to check with your dr regarding the medications he has prescribed before you leave the consultation room and get it also rechecked with your pharmacist so that you do not get medication errors .
Hypertension is a lifestyle disease which requires a lifestyle solution and not a chemical cocktail of medicines .You are already taking 3 medicines for BP and if you are able to make lifestyle choices you might be able to reduce
medicines and may be even stop medications at later stage
hope this helps you.
