Comment from: Daisy 45-54 Female 1 to less than 2 years Patient Published: November 27

Metolazone is the absolute worst drug. I have to take it for fluid buildup 1 - 2 a month. When I do take it, my potassium levels go critically low and I end up with acute kidney failure. However, I don't have any other choice because the Torsemide that I take daily has all but stopped working. This stuff is the devil. If you can avoid it, you would be better off to do so.

Comment from: Marlo 45-54 Female 5 to less than 10 years Patient Published: May 21

I have used Metolazone for years, and it has worked better than any water pill out there. But the longer you are on it the less effective it is. It did take a long time but now the swelling is back in my abdomen and ankles. I take this for heart issues, and if the dose is doubled, the water gain goes up, and postassium goes down

Comment from: Reddevilsurvivor 35-44 Female 2 to less than 5 years Patient Published: September 11

This pill is like magic at removing the fluid. I take 5mg and was instructed to use it no more than once a week (because it strips all electrolytes also). I take spironalactone 50mg and demadex 60 mg daily also. My instructions were to take the metolazone I hr before the other two diuretics. When I take the metolazone I pee like crazy for 3 days. I also have to take prescription potassium to keep from getting severe leg cramps. It works wonderful for my condition.

Comment from: The Doc 35-44 Male 1 to less than 2 years Patient Published: July 10

I take this along with Bumetanide and it works fantastic! Metolazone could get water out of a rock. I do however have much lower potassium from taking this, so if you are thinking of taking it make sure to to have your Dr. check your levels regularly, I take 800MG of an OTC Potassium Chloride (make sure it's Potassium chloride as other types of potassium will not be enough to make a difference no matter how many you take) daily and it seems to keep my levels within normal range.

My physician placed me on 120mg of prednisone for an immune disorder. I immeditely began swelling, picking up over ten pounds in just a few days. He tried me on lasix, with no results. The day after taking my first 5mg dose of Metolazone, my ankles and feet were back to normal, and I was 2 pounds lighter. The next day, my face had nearly returned to normal, and I was only 4 punds heavier than before the prednisone. This medication worked wonderfully for getting rid of the fluid.

I take this drug along with lasix. I have stage 4 kidney failure and I also have COPD and congestive heart failure. If I want my heart and lungs to work I take the combo of drugs until my blood work shows that my kidneys are failing then I stop the duo for a couple of weeks.

My Dr. put on this drug for edema. I have no other problems relating to the use of this med. Lasix is not fully effective but seems to work better. I am also uncomfortable taking a drug for med. conditions that do not exist.

My physician placed me on 120mg of prednisone for an immune disorder. I immeditely began swelling, picking up over ten pounds in just a few days. He tried me on lasix, with no results. The day after taking my first 5mg dose of Metolazone, my ankles and feet were back to normal, and I was 2 pounds lighter. The next day, my face had nearly returned to normal, and I was only 4 punds heavier than before the prednisone. This medication worked wonderfully for getting rid of the fluid.

I am taking this drug for edema. I have no kidney problems, no lung problems and no heart problems. It has helped some but not a lot.

I'm taking this medication along with spironolactone. Apparently, it also helps whatever you take it with to work better.
