It is used to treat edema (fluid retention) caused by conditions, such as kidney disease or congestive heart failure. The medication is also used to treat high blood pressure. Metolazone works by preventing the body from absorbing excess salt, which allows the body to retain less water. Metolazone is a tablet that you swallow. Metolazone is the generic name for this drug, which can be found under the brand names Zaroxolyn and Mykrox.
