What does it do?

Indapamide is a component belonging to the thiazide class of diuretics, primarily used in the treatment of hypertension and edema. It inhibits the reabsorption of sodium and water in the kidneys, helping to eliminate excess fluid from the body.

Indapamide helps to excrete more water and salt through urine by blocking the reabsorption of sodium and chloride ions in the distal convoluted tubule of the kidneys. This reduces blood volume, leading to lower blood pressure and alleviation of edema.

Good to know
