About TOLAZ 2.5MG TABLET

TOLAZ 2.5MG TABLET is an antihypertensive drug that is used for the treatment of hypertension. TOLAZ 2.5MG TABLET comes under the category of thiazide diuretic that prevents the body from absorbing an excessive amount of salt that may cause fluid retention. High blood pressure is known as hypertension. This is a medical condition in which the blood exerts high blood pressure against the walls of the blood vessel. Due to this, the heart has to work harder to pump the blood supply into the whole body. Hypertension can put a person on severe health complications, including stroke, heart failure, heart attack, and aneurysm.

Blood pressure is defined by the amount of blood pumped by the heart and the amount of resistance exerted by the arteries against the blood flow. During hypertension, arteries become narrower, and the heart starts pumping more blood resulting in high blood pressure. Uncontrolled blood pressure can put a person at risk of serious diseases.

The mechanism of TOLAZ 2.5MG TABLET inhibits sodium's reabsorption in the body, resulting in an increase in chloride, sodium, and water excretion through urine. The shift in electrolytes and sodium levels reduces vascular resistance and makes the heart work normally. The production of diuresis and removal of excessive salt and fluid helps to lower blood pressure.

TOLAZ 2.5MG TABLET is an oral medication that means to be taken by mouth. Follow the doctor's instructions carefully, and take TOLAZ 2.5MG TABLET in the same way as directed by the doctor. Do not increase or reduce the dose; tell them about all the medicines and health problems. Do not change the dosage, stop, or start the TOLAZ 2.5MG TABLET without checking with the doctor. TOLAZ 2.5MG TABLET can make a person feel dizzy, so one should avoid doing activities like driving that need mental alertness. Along with the desired effects, TOLAZ 2.5MG TABLET may cause some side effects, including headache, vomiting, itching, etc. Some of the side effects of TOLAZ 2.5MG TABLET do not require medical attention and will pass with time. However, if a person is facing serious side effects or the side effects do not go away in a couple of days, then they must consult with their doctor about it.

Medicinal Benefits

TOLAZ 2.5MG TABLET is prescribed for treating high blood pressure. Being a diuretic medication, TOLAZ 2.5MG TABLET enhances the excretion of sodium and water through urine by restricting sodium absorption in the nephron tubes. If high blood pressure is not controlled for a longer time, then arteries and the heart will not be able to function properly. This may further increase the chances of damage of brain blood vessels, resulting in heart attack and serious kidney failure. However, taking TOLAZ 2.5MG TABLET at the right time can control the blood pressure and make the heart function properly.
