Metolazone | Specialist recommendation (unlicensed). There is now a UK licensed metolazone 5mg tablet available (Xaqua®). There are significant differences in bioavailability between Xaqua® and alternative unlicensed imported metolazone preparations. Xaqua® tablets have up to approximately twice the bioavailability of other metolazone preparations. If switching from another metolazone product to Xaqua® tablets or vice versa, a dose adjustment may be necessary, and individualised titration based on patient's response and tolerability is advised. More information available from Specialist Pharmacy Service (SPS). We are awaiting guidance on switching to the licensed product – in the mean time please ensure that the patients are not inadvertently switched between products. |
