Lazon 2.5mg tablet works by increasing the flow of urine and promoting the removal of excess fluid from the body. It achieves this by blocking the reabsorption of sodium and water in the kidneys, which helps to reduce fluid retention (edema). Additionally, this medicine also helps to widen the blood vessels, leading to a decrease in blood pressure, making it effective for managing hypertension.
