Indapamide is a thiazide-like diuretic primarily used to treat high blood pressure. It increases urinary sodium and water excretion while also producing a blood-pressure-lowering effect.

Benefits:

• Lowers blood pressure
• Helps reduce excess fluid retention
• Can reduce cardiovascular risk associated with hypertension
• Effective as a once-daily antihypertensive
• Sometimes used as a short-term water-cutting/“drying out” agent because it increases urine output.

• This is not an approved can cause

Potential Side Effects:

• Low potassium or sodium
• Dehydration
• Dizziness and low blood pressure
• Muscle cramps or weakness
• Increased uric acid levels
• Changes in blood glucose

Common Use: Usually taken once daily, generally in the morning. Dose depends on the formulation and indication.

Note: Electrolytes, kidney function and blood pressure may require monitoring. Combining indapamide with other diuretics for physique preparation can substantially increase the risk of dehydration and electrolyte abnormalities.
