Metolazone (2.5mg)

About Metolazone (2.5mg)

METALONIX 2.5, containing Metolazone (2.5 mg), is a potent diuretic medication designed to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) and edema (fluid retention) associated with congestive heart failure, kidney disorders, or liver diseases. By promoting the excretion of excess fluid and sodium from the body, METALONIX 2.5 helps alleviate symptoms and improve overall health.

Key Ingredients:

• Metolazone (2.5 mg): The active ingredient in METALONIX 2.5, Metolazone, is a thiazide-like diuretic that effectively reduces fluid buildup and lowers blood pressure.

Key Benefits:

• Reduces Blood Pressure: Helps manage hypertension, thereby lowering the risk of stroke, heart attack, and kidney problems.
• Alleviates Edema: Effectively reduces swelling and fluid retention caused by heart failure, kidney disorders, or liver diseases.
• Improves Symptoms: Enhances the quality of life by relieving symptoms associated with fluid buildup, such as shortness of breath and swollen extremities.

How Does It Work?

Metolazone works by inhibiting the reabsorption of sodium and chloride in the distal convoluted tubules of the kidneys. This action increases the excretion of sodium, chloride, and water, resulting in reduced fluid volume in the body. Consequently, it lowers blood pressure and alleviates edema, making it easier for the heart to pump blood.
