Natrilix-Sr 1.5 mg Tablet 30pcs

Indapamide can be used for treating high blood pressure. It may be used on its own or in combination with other medicine for high blood pressure.

Most diuretics increase the amount of urine produced by the kidneys. However, indapamide is different from other diuretics, as it only causes a slight increase in the amount of urine produced. In addition, indapamide widens blood vessels so that blood passes through more easily. This helps lower blood pressure.
