About Lozol (indapamide)
Lozol is considered a thiazide diuretic, which acts on tubules in the kidneys that absorb salts. Indapamide works by blocking the reabsorption of salts, decreasing salt retention, increasing urination, and reducing fluid retention.
Some conditions that Lozol is known to treat include high blood pressure and edema (salt and fluid retention). Lozol is available only by prescription. It is available in a generic formulation such as indapamide, as well as under different brand names.
Lozol may be prescribed as an oral tablet. It’s always important to follow the specific instructions on your prescription, as they can vary based on the formulation and dosage prescribed.
If you're prescribed Lozol, be sure to complete the full course of the diuretic unless your doctor specifically tells you to stop. If you don’t complete your prescription, the diuretic may not fully treat your high blood pressure or edema.
Lozol uses
There are many FDA-approved uses for Lozol, but it may also be used off-label to treat other conditions. Your online clinician may prescribe it for any of the following common reasons. It’s also possible that your health care provider may prescribe it for other reasons not listed here. If you have questions about why a medication is prescribed, ask your online doctor or pharmacist.
Hypertension (high blood pressure)
Lozol is FDA-approved to treat high blood pressure in hypertensive patients. Lowering blood pressure helps prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems.
Edema
Lozol is FDA-approved to treat edema in patients with congestive heart failure. Like other diuretics, Lozol causes you to make more urine, which helps the body get rid of extra salt and water.
