Drug title

Lozol (Indapamide)

Usage indication

Lozol is used for hypertension treatment (high blood pressure). It is also used for discharge of liquid, on liquid accumulation in organism together with edema and constant heart insufficiency.

Application mode

Lozol is taken once a day in the morning before breakfast. It can be  taken during meal or afterwards. Antacids do not influence Lozol activity.

Mechanism of action

Lozol is a diuretic (water pill) that is primarily used for the treatment of high blood pressure. It works by preventing the kidney from reabsorbing (retaining in the body) salt and water that is destined to be eliminated in the urine. This results in increased urine output (diuresis). Lozol also is thought to reduce the salt in the smooth muscle of the walls of blood vessels. (The salt ultimately is eliminated in the urine.) The loss of salt from the muscle causes the muscle to relax, and the relaxation of the vessels results in reduced blood pressure.

Missed doses
