Lozol (Indapamide) is a diuretic and antihypertensive medication used to manage hypertension and edema associated with congestive heart failure. Indapamide helps to prevent your body from absorbing too much salt, which can cause fluid retention. By promoting the production of urine, Lozol helps to lower blood pressure and decrease swelling.

Why Choose Lozol (Indapamide)?

  • Lowers High Blood Pressure: Helps in reducing the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and kidney problems.
  • Reduces Swelling: Effective in relieving swelling and fluid retention in patients suffering from heart failure.
  • Once-Daily Dosing: Convenient once-daily dosing for easier management of blood pressure and edema.

How to Use Lozol (Indapamide)?

  • Take Lozol exactly as prescribed by your doctor. The usual dose for adults can range from 1.25 mg to 2.5 mg taken once daily, typically in the morning.
  • It can be taken with or without food.
  • Do not alter the dosage or stop taking the medication without consulting your doctor.
  • Take it at the same time each day to maintain an even level of the medication in your bloodstream.
  • Consistent use also helps you remember to take it.
  • If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is near the time of the next dose, skip the missed dose. Take your next dose at the regular time.
  • Do not double the dose to catch up.

Important Safety Information about Lozol

  • Continue taking Lozol even if you feel well. High blood pressure often has no symptoms.
  • Stopping Lozol suddenly can cause your blood pressure to spike, which may lead to other serious health issues.
  • Your doctor may also check your electrolyte levels and kidney function periodically to avoid potential side effects.
  • Incorporating certain lifestyle changes can enhance the effectiveness of Indapamide. These include maintaining a healthy diet, exercising regularly, limiting alcohol, and managing stress.
  • Stay hydrated unless your doctor recommends otherwise, as dehydration is a potential side effect of any diuretic.
  • Inform your doctor if you have allergies to Indapamide, sulfonamides, or any other medications.
  • Discuss all other medications you are taking, as Lozol can interact with other drugs.
  • Notify your doctor if you have other health issues, particularly kidney disease, liver disease, diabetes, or gout.
