Merozolyn Tablet 5 mg contains Metolazone, a thiazide-like diuretic used primarily to manage fluid retention (edema) and high blood pressure (hypertension). Metolazone acts on the distal convoluted tubules of the kidneys, promoting sodium and water excretion while maintaining potassium and bicarbonate balance. By increasing urinary output, it helps reduce swelling and fluid overload associated with conditions such as congestive heart failure, chronic kidney disease, and liver cirrhosis.

Merozolyn is particularly useful in patients who have resistant edema not adequately managed by standard loop diuretics. Its oral tablet formulation provides a convenient and precise dose, allowing for effective fluid management and blood pressure control.
