About Metoz 2.5 Tablet 10's

Metoz 2.5 Tablet 10's is an antihypertensive drug that is used for the treatment of hypertension. Metoz 2.5 Tablet 10's comes under the category of thiazide diuretic that prevents the body from absorbing an excessive amount of salt that may cause fluid retention. High blood pressure is known as hypertension. This is a medical condition in which the blood exerts high blood pressure against the walls of the blood vessel. Due to this, the heart has to work harder to pump the blood supply into the whole body. Hypertension can put a person on severe health complications, including stroke, heart failure, heart attack, and aneurysm.

Blood pressure is defined by the amount of blood pumped by the heart and the amount of resistance exerted by the arteries against the blood flow. During hypertension, arteries become narrower, and the heart starts pumping more blood resulting in high blood pressure. Uncontrolled blood pressure can put a person at risk of serious diseases.

The mechanism of Metoz 2.5 Tablet 10's inhibits sodium's reabsorption in the body, resulting in an increase in chloride, sodium, and water excretion through urine. The shift in electrolytes and sodium levels reduces vascular resistance and makes the heart work normally. The production of diuresis and removal of excessive salt and fluid helps to lower blood pressure.

Metoz 2.5 Tablet 10's is an oral medication that means to be taken by mouth. Follow the doctor's instructions carefully, and take Metoz 2.5 Tablet 10's in the same way as directed by the doctor. Do not increase or reduce the dose; tell them about all the medicines and health problems. Do not change the dosage, stop, or start the Metoz 2.5 Tablet 10's without checking with the doctor.

However, if a person is facing serious side effects or the side effects do not go away in a couple of days, then they must consult with their doctor about it.
