Indapamide belongs to a class of drugs called diuretics – or water pills – and is used to treat high blood pressure and heart failure. Available via a doctor’s prescription, Indapamide comes in tablet form and can be used in combination with other blood pressure-reducing medications. Taking Indapamide can effectively reduce the chance of experiencing a stroke, heart attack or kidney problems.
Indapamide increases the frequency of urination, helping the body to expel excess potassium, sodium, and water through the kidneys. Decreasing levels of salt, minerals and fluid, allows the blood vessels to dilate, which, in turn, helps to effectively reduce the swelling and high blood pressure commonly associated with congestive heart failure.
Indapamide usually begins to take effect within 2 hours of ingestion. It can, however, take up to a week before the initial effects are felt and up to 12 weeks to experience the full benefits of the medication.
Studies have shown Indapamide to be more effective than other diuretics at controlling blood pressure and reducing the risk of heart failure. A single dose of Indapamide will lower blood pressure for a minimum of 24 hours, which means that most users will only need to take it once a day. The medicines longer duration of action and increased efficacy in reducing blood pressure renders it a more viable treatment option than other diuretics.
The active ingredient in Indapamide is indapamide USP. It works by decreasing salts and water in the body, which helps the blood vessels to dilate, lowering blood pressure.
The inactive ingredients in Indapamide are corn starch, hypromellose, lactose monohydrate, magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose, polyethylene glycol, polysorbate 80, talc and titanium dioxide.
Indapamide tablets are available in 1.25 mg or 2 mg doses. If Indapamide is being used to reduce your blood pressure, generally, you will start to take these tablets at a daily dose of 1.25 mg, which your doctor may increase to a maximum of 5 mg a day. As Indapamide is a diuretic, it can also be used to encourage fluid loss. If you are taking Indapamide for this purpose, generally, you will begin with 2.5 mg per day, increasing to 5 mg per day if needed.
If you miss a dose of Indapamide you should take it as soon as possible unless you are within 12 hours of your next dose. It is better to miss a dose completely than to take too much Indapamide, which can have dangerous side effects.
Indapamide is usually administered once a day – preferably in the morning. You must swallow the tablets whole with a glass of water, with or without food. Do not crush, break or chew the tablets as this can prevent them from working.
If you have difficulty swallowing the tablet, speak with your doctor for advice. It is important not to take the medication at night or too late in the day (after 4pm) as the increased inclination to urinate may disturb your sleep.
Taking an extra dose of Indapamide by accident is unlikely to cause any serious harm. Symptoms of Indapamide overdose may include:
Contact your doctor if you think you may have overdosed on Indapamide.
Common side effects of Indapamide, affecting more than 5% of users include:

Many doctors and health professionals prefer Indapamide as a treatment for high blood pressure due to the increased amounts of evidence showing improved clinical outcomes, as compared to Bendroflumethiazide. Indapamide has also shown to produce improved overall cardiovascular outcomes.
Indapamide is safe to take long-term and many users may have to take it for the rest of their lives in order to maintain healthy blood pressure levels. Your doctor may conduct regular blood pressure, urine and blood checks to ensure that the chemicals in your body are balanced, and to confirm that your kidneys are functioning properly.
If you stop your medication, it could cause your blood pressure levels to rise abruptly, thereby, increasing the risk of a heart attack or stroke.
It is advised to stop consuming alcohol during the first few days of taking Indapamide or when increasing your dose as it can produce dizziness or light-headedness. If no such effects are felt, it is usually safe to drink alcohol in moderation; however, consuming excessive amounts may raise your blood pressure and cause dehydration.
If you have a fever, sweats or shaking, vomiting or diarrhea, consult your doctor as you may need to temporarily stop taking Indapamide until you feel better, in order to prevent further dehydration. You can start taking the medication again as normal once your illness subsides.

High blood pressure, the technical term is hypertension. High blood pressure is a common long term condition people can experience. It does not usually have noticeable symptoms. If left untreated or uncontrolled it can become dangerous as it increases your chances of certain conditions.
When you exercise, your heart rate increases and can vary depending upon the intensity of the exercise you do. Therefore, it is often more relevant to measure your resting heart rate - the number of times your heart beats while you are completely at rest.
While there are many medications that treat anxiety, many of them can be highly addictive or have unwanted side effects such as drowsiness. This is why many people look for alternatives to the benzodiazepines that are usually prescribed for anxiety. Atenolol, and other beta-blockers are often prescribed as non-addictive medications for anxiety.
Grapefruit and grapefruit juice can interact with Amlodipine. Amlodipine is broken down by enzymes (CYP3A4) in the lower intestine. People have different levels of these enzymes in their body, so eating grapefruit can affect people differently, even when they both take Amlodipine. Eating grapefruit can block the action of these important enzymes. This causes the drug to stay around for longer, allowing too much Amlodipine to enter your bloodstream. These higher levels of Amlodipine mean stronger effects of the drug and stronger side effects.
Whilst it’s highly effective, Amlodipine also has many side effects. These include dizziness, headaches, swelling and stomach pain. A rare side effect of Amlodipine is weight gain, therefore the risk is low. Many factors that may increase your risk of high blood pressure i.e. high-calorie diet, may contribute to increased weight gain when taking Amlodipine. If you feel Amlodipine is causing you to gain weight, you may want to look into alternative blood pressure medication.
Amlodipine (Norvasc) is prescribed to treat high blood pressure. It does this by opening up the blood vessels to improve your blood flow. However, it can also come with some unpleasant side effects. The most common of these are nausea, headaches, mild swelling and stomach pain. To avoid these side effects, you might be looking for an alternative.
Heart disease is also referred to as coronary artery disease. In the US, heart disease triggers 735,000 heart attacks each year and causes the death of more than 630,000 Americans. 7 million Americans have suffered a heart attack at some point in their life according to the American Heart Association. Heart disease is very common and is known as the silent killer. You must know what factors can contribute to the increased risk of heart disease.
Be honest. Sleeping in on the weekend doesn’t count, we are talking about a regular sleep schedule aligned with your body’s internal clock.
Chronically high blood pressure puts you at risk of developing several diseases and dying early. High blood pressure causes a lot of damage because of the damage done to blood vessels particularly arteries. Healthy blood vessels are essential for every organ to function properly so high blood pressure can potentially damage many organs including your heart, eyes and kidneys.
While Lisinopril is very effective at reducing blood pressure and helping the heart recover from cardiac arrest, it can react poorly when combined with alcohol. Lisinopril works by lowering your blood pressure through a relaxation of your blood vessel muscles. That’s ideal for treating various heart conditions and hypertension, but when you combine it with alcohol, the effects can be disastrous. That is because alcohol lowers your blood pressure as well, so your blood pressure could become dangerously low.
Meditation is surprisingly good for many aspects of our health from the physical to the psychological. You do not need to be a monk in order to meditate. 10 to 20 minutes a day in a time and place to suit you is enough.
Prediabetes means your blood sugar levels (glucose dissolved in your body) are more than normal but still less those of a diabetic. Glucose is vital for every human body and serves us with energy through a process named glycolysis. Several hormones constantly check the glucose dissolved in our body to stay in a balanced stage, which is called homeostasis. Those who have trouble keeping their blood sugar levels balanced suffer from diabetes.
