Lozol Dosage and Administration

Take Lozol once a day in mornings before breakfast with or without food. The usual initial dose is 1.25 mg taken as a single daily dose. It may be increased up to 5 mg.

Precautions

Lozol and other diuretics stimulate excretion of slats and potassium with urine which may lead to considerable loss of the substances especially among elderly women. Hypopotasse signs are muscle weakness and rapid or irregular heartbeat. For compensation of the potassium loss, you may be recommended to eat potassium-rich foods or taking a potassium supplement. Risk of hypopotassemia increases when larger doses are used, in the patients with cirrhosis, and in those treated by corticosteroids or ACTH. Blood pressure, K+ serum, and creatinine tests should be done regularly, especially in the individuals with an irregular heartbeat or those on heart medications. Systematic control of blood K+, Na+, Mg2+, pH, glucose uric acid and residual nitrogen is required especially in patients with gout or high uric acid levels, liver disease, diabetes, or lupus erythematosus, kidney dysfunction.

Contraindications

Lozol cannot be administered in patients with hypersensitivity to its components, severe liver or kidney failure (anuria), hypopotassemia. High doses of Lozol cannot be used to treat edematous syndrome in the patients with cerebrovascular accident and decompensated diabetes with ketoacidosis.
