Generic Name: Metolazone

What is Zaroxolyn?
Zaroxolyn is used to treat fluid retention due to congestive heart failure, kidney problems, or nephrotic syndrome (kidney disorder in which too much protein is excreted into the urine). Zaroxolyn helps you form urine and get rid of excess body water.

Zaroxolyn is also used to treat high blood pressure; it may be used alone or in combination with other drugs that treat high blood pressure.

What is the most important information I should know about Zaroxolyn?
Allergic reactions to Zaroxolyn can occur with the first dose. Seek medical attention immediately if you have trouble breathing, swelling of the throat or face, or any other allergic-type reaction after taking Zaroxolyn. You may be more likely to experience an allergy to Zaroxolyn if you are also allergic to sulfonamide-type medicines, thiazide-type diuretics (water pills), or quinethazone.

Take Zaroxolyn with caution if you are also currently taking other medicines to lower your blood pressure. Let your doctor know if you feel dizzy or lightheaded when you take Zaroxolyn.

Zaroxolyn, especially when combined with alcohol may cause dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting. To prevent them, sit up or stand slowly, especially in the morning. Sit or lie down at the first sign of any of these effects.

Zaroxolyn may increase your blood sugar, and this may be especially of concern if you have diabetes.

Zaroxolyn may cause changes in the levels of different electrolytes in the body, such as potassium and sodium. Your doctor will monitor your electrolytes. Warning signs of electrolyte imbalance may include dry mouth, thirst, weakness, drowsiness, muscle pains or cramps, rapid heart rate, nausea, and vomiting.
