Question 1

lozol or furesomide, which is better?

Accepted Answer

lozol: They are both diuretics and of different classes of chemical. They both work individually and sometimes we give together in specific situations, 
better?-- they both work.

Question 2

are lozol and zaroxolyn (metolazone) prescribed a lot?

Accepted Answer

Not unusually: Both are relatively frequently used medications for diuresis. However, they belong to the mild diuretics category unless combined with other diuretics. Zaroxylyn in particular has the claim of fame of being effective if added to Furosemide in patients with resistant diuresis with chf. By itself, it is used infrequently and other cheaper thiazides (same family) do the same effect e.g. Hctz (hydrochlorothiazide).

Question 3

will using lozol help get rid of water?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but stop salt: No water pill will get the job done if the patient does not stop excess fluid and salt intake. Lozol and other water pills are like the plunger that you use for stopped up sink. It is very important not to pour much fluids in that sink or else the plunger may not be enough and flooding will take place. You got it! our body is the sink and the kidneys are the drain that may be stopped up sometimes.

Question 4

will using lozol help get rid of my water weight?

Accepted Answer

Minimally: lozol is a mild diuretic but good anti hypertensive medication. Best way to diminish "water weight" is diminish the salt intake.
If you truly need to get rid of fluids, there are stronger diuretics that are used for heart failure or other reasons to keep fluids. ALL OF THEM require very careful doctor supervision.
 Hard to answer without knowing more about the reason behind the question.

Question 5

what is the definition or description of: lozol allergy?

Accepted Answer

Lozol allergy: Indapamide (lozol) is a diuretic medication. An allergy occurs when your body’s immune system creates antibodies to a foreign substance causing a reaction that can be mild to severe.  For possible adverse reactions to Lozol see:  http://www.webmd.com/drugs/2/drug-6884/lozol-oral/details

Question 6

will using lozol help get rid of water retention?

Accepted Answer

Yes but,: Water pills only do so much. The patient does the most important job; salt and fluid restriction. Beware of salt in processed food and in bread (recent data). If you don't, at least do not mix them! i don't care how much water pills you take, you can sabotage their effect with your intake. If you control fluids and salt you may find yourself not in need for water pills.

Question 7

can the medications perindopril, indapamide , bisoprolol  cause constipation.?

Accepted Answer

Not directly: But Indapamide is a diuretic which can cause dehydration which can cause constipation.

Question 8

is there a  drug indapamide?

Accepted Answer

Indapamide: Anti hypertensive or blood pressure reducing drug. Also diuretic for heart failure.

Question 9

i am taking amlodine 10mgs indapamide 2.5 can i take virgra?

Accepted Answer

: Since the antihypertensive medication amlodipine doesn't increase production of  nitric oxide in the body it doesn't interact enough with viagra to severely drop blood pressure any further than without viagra on board.. I've known of many men on amlodipine who take viagra without adverse consequences. The mild diuretic, indapamide shouldn't be a problem either.

Question 10

i have been given a script for indapamide  can it be taken by a diabetic on metformin?

Accepted Answer

Indapamide: This medication is a mild water pill that can be used for blood pressure control and/or swelling in your legs - and can be taken with metformin. I would recommend that you make sure your doctor checks your blood potassium and sodium as well as your kidney function tests. I am sure you get these checked regularly but make sure you talk with your provider about that.
