Although Hyzaar is not a cure for high blood pressure, it has been shown to lower blood pressure in adults. Hyzaar is a combination of two medications -- Cozaar and hydrochlorothiazide -- which work to relax the blood vessels and remove more salt and water from the blood. Hyzaar can decrease the risk of developing health problems, such as a heart attack or stroke, that are caused by long-term high blood pressure. Because of its combined effects, Hyzaar causes a greater drop in blood pressure than when either medicine is used alone.
