Question 1

what is the definition or description of: mykrox allergy?

Accepted Answer

Mykrox allergy: Mykrox  (Metolazone) 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 potential adverse reactions see:  http://www.webmd.com/drugs/2/drug-8430/mykrox-oral/details

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

does metolazone & spironalctone kill pain ?

Accepted Answer

No: No, they do not.  That's not their purpose or mechanism of action.

Question 4

what is zaroxolyn (metolazone) used for?

Accepted Answer

Metolazone: It is a powerful diuretic that works in proximal tubule. Used in patients who retain salt and water and have kidney failure.

Question 5

if taking metolazone, what are effects?

Accepted Answer

Metolazone: Some of the side effects include dizziness, lower BP upon standing up and electrolyte imbalances, which could result in cardiac arrhythmia.

Question 6

is metolazone for kidneys or high blood pressure?

Accepted Answer

See below: Metolazone is a weak diuretic or "water pill" or more correctly eliminates salt from your body.Salt retention by kidneys can cause high blood presssure.This medication works best with Furosemide or Lasix (furosemide) and needs to be given in combination. Care should be exercised for electrolyte disturbances while taking this medication alone or in combination.

Question 7

can i take metolazone (5mg) in the morning and hydrochlorothiazide (25mg) in the evening together with furosemide (60mg) for stubborn edema?

Accepted Answer

No: They are drugs of the same class and there's no benefit in taking both. You list nephrotic syndrome. You will likely need a higher dose of lasix (furosemide). I would start by trying 60 mg twice day (with supervision! as it is dangerous to do this on your own!). Alternatively, change lasix (furosemide) to torsemide which is more potent.

Question 8

bun creatinine high taking lasix 60 3 days week zaroxolyn (metolazone) 5 mg had chf in march,  have afib on heart meds too. help?

Accepted Answer

Labs: The increase in your creatinine can be dye to many reason. HF itself can cause abnormal kidney function. Excessive use of Lasix (furosemide) also can make things worse. Suggest you see a kidney doc soon and seek input. Testing is needed including a urine test and a detailed history and exam. Best of luck

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Sneezing.....: Runny nose, itchy nose and throat, nasal congestion, itchy and watery eyes, and possibly even cough, wheeze, and shortness of breath.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily.: If your toddler's history is not consistent with croup, other diagnoses for stridor should be considered: stridor lasting for short durations (hours); stidor lasting longer than infectious period; stridor not associated with acute infection; severe episodes requiring emergency room visits or hospitalizations; progressively more severe or frequent episodes of croup; choking or gagging before onset.
