Toprol XL (Labetalol)
Toprol XL is used for treating high blood pressure, alone or with other medicines; long-term treatment of chest pain; and certain types of heart failure. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.
Toprol XL is a beta-adrenergic blocking agent (beta-blocker). It works by reducing the amount of work the heart has to do (reduces chest pain) and the amount of blood the heart pumps out (lowers high blood pressure). It is also used to stabilize the heart rhythm in conditions in which the heart is beating too fast or in an irregular rhythm.

Mykrox (Metolazone)
Mykrox is used to treat fluid retention (edema) and swelling that is caused by congestive heart failure, kidney disease, or other medical conditions.
Mykrox is also used alone or together with other medicines to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). High blood pressure adds to the work load of the heart and arteries. If it continues for a long time, the heart and arteries may not function properly. This can damage the blood vessels of the brain, heart, and kidneys, resulting in a stroke, heart failure, or kidney failure. High blood pressure may also increase the risk of heart attacks. These problems may be less likely to occur if blood pressure is controlled.
Mykrox is a thiazide diuretic (water pill). It reduces the amount of water in the body by increasing the flow of urine, which helps to lower blood pressure.
This medicine is available only with your doctor’s prescription.
