Generic Name: Zaroxolyn (metolazone)
Zaroxolyn Reviews
For Edema "I had been given Lasix 20 mg for swollen feet and lower legs. It didn't work, so the doctor upped it to 40 mg. That didn't work either. So then he prescribed Metolazone 5 mg. This worked, but it took a few weeks. Since I am the first person writing a review, I assume this isn't prescribed often."
For Edema "Have taken it 3 times and ended up in the hospital with severe electrolyte deficiencies. Works well and fast - lost 20 lbs in 3 days. However, for me requires monitoring of electrolytes which doctors will not do regularly."
For Edema "I had a massive amount of fluid retention, and I lost 50 pounds in 5 days at 1 pill a day taken with my Lasix. It worked great for me, and I'm very happy with the results. Thanks to my new doctor, it got rid of a lot of fluid that was inside of me, and I thank God he gave them to me. That is the only thing that worked for me. Now I'm 70 pounds lighter, thanks to that little small pill."
For Edema "Works really well to get rid of excess water. I sometimes have lost 6 pounds on the day I took it. I only take 1.25 mg per week, on a Monday. Get severe cramps for a couple of days after taking, very painful, cramps lessen after about the fourth day. Almost afraid to retake on Monday because of the cramping."
