Electrolytes: Metolazone may cause imbalances of electrolytes in the blood such as potassium, sodium, and magnesium.

It is recommended to administer oral metolazone or intravenous furosemide every 6–12 hours as required.

Metoz indirectly decreases the amount of water reabsorbed into the bloodstream by the kidney, so that blood volume decreases and urine volume increases.

If calcium in your blood remains low despite treatment, your doctor may add a prescription diuretic medication — specifically a thiazide diuretic such as hydrochlorothiazide or metolazone.

However patients with a urostomy may experience increased urine flow, especially with drugs like Lasix® (furosemide) and Zaroxolyn® (metolazone).

It usually takes 3 to 4 days for metolazone to start reducing edema, and 3 to 6 weeks to start reducing blood pressure.

Metolazone quickly gained popularity due to its lower renal toxicity compared to other diuretics (especially thiazides) in patients with renal insufficiency.

It usually takes 3 to 4 days for metolazone to start reducing edema, and 3 to 6 weeks to start reducing blood pressure.

Metolazone is sometimes used together with loop diuretics such as furosemide or bumetanide, but these highly effective combinations can lead to dehydration and electrolyte abnormalities.
