Zaroxolyn (Metolazone) and/or alternatives

General Information On Zaroxolyn

Zaroxolyn is a medication used for curing heart ailments, especially high blood pressure and congestive heart failure. Its generic name is metolazone. Zaroxolyn is a water pill or a thiazide like diuretic. The drug is available in the form of a pill, and it decreases the amount of water that is absorbed by the bloodstream and increases urine production so that your body gets rid of extra water, thereby reducing blood pressure. Reduced blood pressure decreases the risk of kidney disorders, heart attacks, and strokes.
