Metolazone
Metaxalone
, a muscle relaxant, is a medicine with a similar name. Metolazone is a
thiazide diuretics
marketed under the brand names Zaroxolyn and Mykrox. It is primarily used to treat
congestive heart failure
and
high blood pressure
. Metolazone indirectly decreases the amount of water reabsorbed into the bloodstream by the
kidney
, so that blood volume decreases and urine volume increases. This lowers blood pressure and prevents excess fluid accumulation in heart failure. Metolazone is often used together with
loop diuretics
such as
furosemide
or
bumetanide
, but these highly effective combinations can lead to
dehydration
and
electrolyte abnormalities
.
