Metolazone comes in tablet form and should be taken orally, usually once per day at approximately the same time each day. Take metolazone exactly as directed by your doctor and do not take more or less of it or take it more frequently than prescribed.
The recommended dosage of Metolazone depends on the condition being treated. However, the usual initial dosage for adults for hypertension is typically 2.5 to 5 milligrams (mg) once a day, which may be increased to 20 mg once daily as needed. For edema, the initial dosage is typically 2.5 to 10 mg once a day, which may be gradually increased to 20 mg as needed. Your doctor may adjust the dosage as needed based on your response to the medication. The maximum recommended daily dose of Metolazone for hypertension is 5 mg and for edema is 20 mg.
Your doctor will likely start you on a low dose of metolazone and adjust the dose gradually based on your response to the medication. Continue taking metolazone even if you feel well, as it helps control high blood pressure but does not cure it. Do not stop taking metolazone without consulting with your doctor first.
