Indapamide medication is used to treat high blood pressure. Indapamide is also used to reduce extra salt and fluid in the body (edema) caused by a certain heart problem (congestive heart failure). Lowering high blood pressure helps prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems. Decreasing extra salt and fluid in the body helps to decrease swelling and breathing problems from congestive heart failure and increases your ability to exercise.

Indapamide is a "water pill" (diuretic) that increases the amount of urine you make. Getting rid of extra water and salt may help to relax the blood vessels so that blood can flow more easily. These effects help to lower blood pressure and decrease the amount of work the heart must do to pump blood.

Side effects

Dizziness or headache may occur. If any of these effects persist or worsen, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly.

Remember that your doctor has prescribed this medication ...
... because he or she has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.

Indapamide may cause too much body water and salts to be lost (dehydration). Prolonged diarrhea, vomiting, or excessive sweating can increase this risk. To prevent dehydration, drink plenty of fluids unless otherwise directed by your doctor. Tell your doctor promptly if you have any symptoms of dehydration, including: fast/irregular heartbeat, unusual dry mouth/thirst, muscle cramps/pain, unusual decreased urination, and weakness.

Precaution

Before using this medication, tell your doctor or pharmacist your medical history, especially of: diabetes, gout, kidney problems, liver disease, a certain nerve surgery (sympathectomy).

This drug may make you dizzy. Do not drive, use machinery, or do any activity that requires alertness until you are sure you can perform such activities safely. Limit alcoholic beverages.

This medication may make you more sensitive to the sun. Avoid prolonged sun exposure, tanning booths, and sunlamps. Use a sunscreen and wear protective clothing when outdoors.
