Indapa-SR Tablet 1.5 mg contains Indapamide 1.5 mg in a sustained-release (SR) formulation. It is primarily indicated for the treatment of essential hypertension (high blood pressure). The sustained-release technology ensures gradual and consistent release of the active ingredient throughout the day, providing effective 24-hour blood pressure control with once-daily dosing.

Hypertension is a long-term condition that increases the risk of heart attack, stroke, heart failure, and kidney disease. Proper blood pressure management is crucial to reducing these risks. Indapa-SR Tablet 1.5 mg helps maintain stable blood pressure levels and supports overall cardiovascular health when used as prescribed.

Mechanism of Action

Indapamide is a thiazide-like diuretic with additional vasodilatory properties. It works through two main mechanisms:

• Promotes excretion of excess sodium and water through urine, reducing blood volume

• Relaxes blood vessels, decreasing peripheral vascular resistance

Unlike traditional diuretics, Indapamide at antihypertensive doses has minimal effect on lipid and glucose metabolism, making it suitable for long-term use in many patients, including those with metabolic concerns.

The sustained-release formulation ensures smooth blood pressure control over 24 hours and reduces fluctuations.

Indications

Indapa-SR Tablet 1.5 mg is indicated for:

• Essential hypertension

• Long-term blood pressure management

• Patients requiring once-daily antihypertensive therapy

It may be used alone or in combination with other antihypertensive medications as directed by a physician.

Dosage and Administration

• The usual recommended dose is one tablet once daily.

• It is generally taken in the morning.

• Swallow the tablet whole with water. Do not crush or chew, as this may affect the sustained-release mechanism.

Regular blood pressure monitoring is recommended during therapy.

Precautions

Before using Indapa-SR Tablet 1.5 mg, inform your healthcare provider if you have:

As a diuretic, Indapamide may alter electrolyte levels such as potassium and sodium. Periodic laboratory monitoring may be required during treatment.
