Metoz 5 Tablet 10

Metoz 5 Tablet is used for managing hypertension (high blood pressure), alleviating edema caused by congestive heart failure (fluid buildup due to ineffective heart pumping), reducing fluid retention related to kidney disease (swelling in legs, ankles, or feet due to poor kidney function), and lessening edema associated with liver cirrhosis (fluid accumulation from advanced liver damage).

• Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water.

• Avoid breaking, crushing or chewing the tablet.

• Do not take more than the advised dose without consulting your doctor.

• Remember, it's important not to stop taking this medicine without speaking to your doctor first.

Metoz 5 Tablet is taken orally.

Metoz 5 Tablet contains metolazone (5 mg), which works on the body as follows:

• Sodium and Chloride Excretion: Metolazone acts on the kidneys to increase the excretion of sodium and chloride. These two elements play a key role in maintaining the balance of fluids in our body.

• Water Excretion: By inhibiting sodium and chloride reabsorption in a part of our kidney called the distal convoluted tubule, metolazone leads to increased water excretion. Water follows sodium and chloride out of the body, reducing fluid retention.

• Blood Volume Decrease: The process of increased water and electrolyte excretion leads to a decrease in blood volume. This reduction in blood volume lightens the workload on your heart and lowers blood pressure.

• Keep Metoz 5 Tablet at a temperature below 30°C.

• Avoid exposing the medication to extreme heat, direct sunlight, or moisture.

• Always place this medicine out of reach of children.

• Ensure you use the product before its expiry date.

• If you're managing hypertension with Metoz 5 Tablet, aim to limit your salt intake. Consuming too much salt can raise blood pressure levels.

• For those using Metoz 5 Tablet to alleviate edema, try to elevate the swollen area whenever possible. This can help reduce the accumulation of fluid in the tissues.
