Zytanix 2.5 mg Tablet

Zytanix 2.5 mg Tablet is a prescription medicine that contains 2.5 mg of metolazone in each tablet. Metolazone is a thiazide-like diuretic, often called a water pill, used to help the body remove extra salt and water. Zytanix 2.5 mg Tablet is used for fluid retention (edema) and is also prescribed to help manage high blood pressure in some patients.

How it works: Metolazone in Zytanix 2.5 mg Tablet acts on the kidneys to reduce how much sodium is reabsorbed, so more salt and water leave the body in urine. This lowers fluid buildup and can also help reduce blood pressure by decreasing fluid volume in the bloodstream.

Zytanix 2.5 mg Tablet is the low-dose tablet in this product, which can be useful when a doctor wants a gentler starting or maintenance dose. Because there are no other Zytanix strengths or forms listed here, this tablet fits standard metolazone dosing by allowing careful dose adjustment based on your response and lab results.

• Edema from heart failure
• Edema from kidney disease
• Edema from liver disease
• High blood pressure
• Fluid overload when a diuretic is needed

• Swallow Zytanix 2.5 mg Tablet whole with water.
• Take it exactly as prescribed, usually earlier in the day to limit nighttime urination.
• You may take it with or without food if your doctor does not give different instructions.
• Do not double up doses if you miss one; ask your prescriber or pharmacist what to do.
• Get up slowly after sitting or lying down, since this tablet can cause dizziness from fluid loss.
• Keep taking it for the full time prescribed, even if swelling improves.

Each Zytanix 2.5 mg Tablet provides 2.5 mg of metolazone. The dose may be taken once daily or on a different schedule depending on your condition, and the doctor decides the exact amount and how often you should take it. Do not take more than prescribed; the safe maximum depends on your medical situation and lab results, not just the tablet strength.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
