A water tablet for high blood pressure

Most blood pressure tablets act on the vessels or the heart. Indapamide goes through the kidneys instead: it is a thiazide-like diuretic that makes them release more salt, and water leaves with it. The volume of blood shrinks a little and the pressure drops. It also relaxes the walls of small vessels slightly. Its two uses are high blood pressure and the swollen legs and ankles that heart failure can bring. Pressure that is too high rarely produces symptoms, so there is no sensation to wait for; the tablet is doing its job whether or not you notice anything, and the effect lasts only as long as the course does.

Taking your tablets

One tablet once a day, in the morning. Timing matters: the hours after a dose are when you will need the toilet most, and a morning dose keeps that out of your night. Food makes no difference to how it works, and the same time each day gives the steadiest control. Indapamide tablets come in 1.5mg and 2.5mg, the same medicine at two doses, so the strength and the pack size are what you choose when you order. Keep the tablets in their original container with the lid tight, somewhere dry and not too warm.

What the first few weeks are like

Passing urine more often can last up to six hours after each dose, and for most people it eases after a few weeks of daily use. Headache, dizziness, drowsiness, tiredness, weakness and muscle cramps or spasms are the effects people report most often; some also notice numbness or tingling in the fingers and toes, or feel nervous and irritable. Because the tablets shift the body's salt balance, potassium and sodium levels are checked with blood tests from time to time — a low potassium level is the change that matters most.

Effects that need urgent help, and interactions

A severe skin rash with itching, difficulty breathing or swallowing, or a racing or irregular heartbeat needs urgent treatment. Alcohol deepens the drowsiness indapamide can bring on and makes the fall in blood pressure more noticeable. Lithium levels climb when indapamide is taken with it, and anti-inflammatory painkillers such as ibuprofen can work against the blood pressure drop. Uric acid can rise too, which matters if you have gout.

Do I need a prescription to order Indapamide?

PockDose does not ask you to upload a prescription when you order indapamide. See the ordering FAQ for details.

What is another name for indapamide?

Fludex and Lozol are brand names of indapamide, which is also sold as Natrilix. Here, indapamide can be bought online as indapamide tablets. These are generics, not the original brand.

What is the difference between indapamide 1.5mg and 2.5mg?

They are the same medicine at different doses, both taken once a day. The 1.5mg and 2.5mg tablets contain different amounts of indapamide, and packs of both are sold here, so check the number on the box when you reorder.

Does indapamide lower your potassium?

It can. Indapamide makes the kidneys lose more sodium and water, and potassium can fall along with them; sodium levels may dip a little too. Blood tests are used to follow these levels, and potassium-rich foods such as bananas, oranges, prunes and dried fruit are often part of the plan.

Can I drink alcohol while taking indapamide?

A drink now and then is unlikely to cause trouble, but alcohol increases the drowsiness these tablets can cause and can leave you lightheaded when you stand up quickly. On days when you drink more than usual, take extra care with driving or anything that needs a steady head.

How long do you take indapamide for?

It is a long-term medicine. Indapamide keeps blood pressure down rather than curing it, so pressure tends to creep back up once the tablets stop; most people stay on it for years. The daily routine — one tablet each morning — is what keeps the effect even.

What happens if I miss a dose of indapamide?

Take the missed tablet later the same day as soon as you remember. Once the next dose is nearly due, leave the missed one out and carry on with the usual morning tablet; doubling up does not make up the difference.
