Lozol (Indapamide) Dosage and Side Effects

LOZOL is a prescription medicine used to treat high blood pressure. It's also given to people who suffer from edema (fluid retention) due to congestive heart disease or another medical condition.

LOZOL is a diuretic (water pill) that works by helping the kidneys rid the body of unneeded water and salt.

Proper Use of this medication

LOZOL comes as a tablet to take by mouth, typically once daily in the morning.

Your dose will depend on your medical condition and response to treatment.

You can take this medicine with or without food.

At first, LOZOL may make you urinate more often.

You may want to take your dose before 6 p.m. to avoid disturbing your sleep with the need to urinate.

Follow the instructions on your prescription label carefully. Don't take more or less LOZOL than is recommended.

Continue to take LOZOL even if you feel well. Don't stop your treatment without first talking to your doctor.

LOZOL Overdose

Symptoms of an LOZOL overdose may include:

  • Vomiting
  • Nausea
  • Weakness

If you suspect an overdose, contact a poison control center or emergency room immediately.

Missed Dose of LOZOL

If you miss a dose of LOZOL, take it as soon as you remember.

But if it's almost time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular medication schedule.

Don't take extra medicine to make up for a missed dose.
