Metolazone, a diuretic similar to thiazide diuretics, is used in the treatment of hypertension. Suppose a patient is given an initial dose of 3 mg/day, and that the dose is increased by 0.5 mg/day for two weeks until the maximum daily dose is reached. How large is the maximum dose of metolazone?
Homework Answers
Initial dose= 3 mg/ day
0.5 mg increased per day for 2 weeks means increase of 7 mg at the end of 14 days . So, total dose = 3 mg + 7 mg= 10 mg.
By the end of 2 weeks, the maximum dose will be= 10 mg per day.
