About this item
INTRODUCTION ABOUT ZYTANIX 2.5 TABLET
ZYTANIX 2.5 TABLET contains Metolazone which belongs to the group of medicines called Diuretics. It is used for the management of hypertension. Hypertension is defined as persistently increased blood pressure, that can show symptoms like headache, sweating, fast heartbeat, or throbbing sensation.
