METOLAZONE is a diuretic commonly used to treat high blood pressure and edema. It is a thiazide diuretic that helps lower blood pressure and relieve symptoms of edema by causing the kidneys to excrete excess salt and water. METOLAZONE is usually taken by mouth and can be used alone or in combination with other high blood pressure medications. Some side effects may occur while taking METOLAZONE, including headache, fatigue, muscle cramps, and indigestion. It is important to follow your doctor's advice and use the medication correctly as prescribed. During use of METOLAZONE, attention should be paid to maintaining adequate fluid intake to avoid dehydration. If serious side effects or discomfort occur, seek medical attention promptly. Do not change the dose or stop using METOLAZONE on your own, as this may affect the therapeutic effect. If you have any questions or concerns, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
Directions: Use this medication as directed by your physician or pharmacist. It is usually recommended to take it on an empty stomach or after a meal to avoid stomach upset. While taking it, you should avoid eating high-sodium foods and maintain adequate fluid intake.
Dosage Guidelines: The usual recommended starting dose for adults is 5 mg once daily. Depending on individual circumstances, the physician may adjust the dose, but the maximum dose should not exceed 20 mg daily. The dosage for children is based on age and weight and needs to be used after confirmation by a physician. Remember, do not adjust the dosage on your own and must follow the advice of your medical professional.
