Question 1

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 2

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 3

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 4

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 5

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 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

what can i do for a medicine allergy?

Accepted Answer

Stop taking it: If it is an extreme necessity, and there are no alternatives, and you don&#x27;t know whether this an allergic reaction or an adverse drug reaction (side effect), see an allergist/immunologist for evaluation and possible desensitization to the said drug for treatment of a particular disease episode, good luck

Question 8

what is the best medicine for stubborn allergies?

Accepted Answer

Various Options: Daily steroid or antihistamines nasal sprays (fluticasone, azelastine) are helpful. Determining exactly what you could be sensitized to in order to practice appropriate avoidance measures is also important. If medications and avoidance are not effective or not feasible allergen immunotherapy (allergy shots) could be an option as well. Other meds include Sudafed, Mucinex, (guaifenesin) Afrin, oral antihistamines

Question 9

i had allergy today , was it due to any of my medicine ?

Accepted Answer

Could be!: Without understanding the circumstances and the type of reaction, it is impossible to answer the question. If you started the new medicine, and experienced a reaction, it could be due to allergy to the medication.

Question 10

i'm curious as to what is the best medicine to cure allergy?

Accepted Answer

No cure yet, but...: Allergy shots (allergen immunotherapy) is currently the only treatment that is disease modifiying, meaning it can change how the body responds to exposure to allergens.  It is "natural" and long lasting effects carry on after shots are stopped. It works for most, but not all people.  Closest thing to a cure so far.....
