Can Lozide Help Treat My High Blood Pressure or Swelling?

Lozide is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). It is also used for the treatment of swelling associated with heart failure. It should not be used for any swelling related to pregnancy.

Lozide can also be used to reduce the amount of water in the body by increasing the flow of urine. It works by making the body lose excess water and salt and prevents the kidney from reabsorbing salt and water that is destined to be eliminated in the urine. This results in increased urine output.

Lozide also reduces the salt in the smooth muscle of the walls of blood vessels that help the muscle to relax. In turn, the relaxation of the vessels results in reduced blood pressure.

As blood pressure increases, so do the stress levels for the arteries and heart. If high blood pressure goes unchecked for too long, the arteries and hearts may not function correctly. This may cause severe damage to the blood vessels of the heart, brain, and kidneys which may lead to a heart attacks and strokes. If blood pressure is controlled, than these issues are less likely to occur.
