Indapamide

Is a thiazide-like diuretic medication.

Indapamide is primarily used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension).

Elmap Sr Tab (Indapamide) works by blocking the reabsorption of sodium and chloride in the kidneys, leading to increased urine production. This reduces the volume of blood circulating in the body, thereby lowering blood pressure.

Store indapamide tablets at room temperature, away from moisture and direct sunlight.

The dosage of indapamide varies depending on the individual's condition and response to treatment. It is typically taken once daily, preferably in the morning.

Your doctor will determine the appropriate dosage for you.

Common side effects of indapamide include dizziness, headache, fatigue, and muscle cramps.
