Metolazone / Lasix

by pacepal - 2009-04-13 08:04:31

Hi Verger,

Metolazone is a thiazide diuretic prescribed for CHF,cirrhosis of the liver,kidney malfunction,
hypertension, & other conditions where it is necessary to rid the body of excess fluid.

Lasix (Furosemide)...a " loop diuretic "prescribed for the same conditions,is stronger than a thiazide diuretic. Not only do they affect the same part of the kidney as thiazide diuretics, they also act in another portion call the " loop of Henle ". This dual action is what makes loop diuretics so potent.

Check the link below for info on both meds:

Hope this helps.....pacepal.
