Idatix 1.5 SR 50Pcs (Box)

Indications

Indapamide is prescribed to treat essential hypertension. It is helpful in treating hypertension in people with impaired renal function, however its diuretic impact is diminished. Indapamide is also used to treat salt and fluid retention caused by congestive heart failure.

Pharmacology

Indapamide is an antihypertensive diuretic. It appears to produce vasodilation by blocking the flow of calcium and other ions (such as sodium and potassium) through membranes. It has an extrarenal antihypertensive effect that reduces vascular hyperreactivity as well as total peripheral and arteriolar resistance.

Dosage & Administration

One tablet daily preferably in the morning. In more sever case Indapamide can be combine with other categories of anti-hypertensive agent. The safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients have not been established.

Interaction

Other antihypertensive: Indapamide may supplement or enhance the effect of other antihypertensive medications.

Indapamide, like thiazides, may reduce arterial reactivity to norepinephrine.

Diuretics should not be administered concurrently with lithium because they decrease renal clearance and increase the risk of lithium toxicity.

Sulfonamide hypersensitivity

Precautions & Warnings
