IND SR 1.5 mg Tablet is used for the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure). Additionally, it is used to reduce the risk of heart failure and oedema (a build-up of fluid in the body). It contains Indapamide, which works by inhibiting the reabsorption of sodium in the body, resulting in an increase in chloride, sodium, and water excretion through urine. The shift in electrolytes and sodium levels reduces vascular resistance and makes the heart work normally. The production of diuresis and removal of excessive salt and fluid helps to lower blood pressure. In some cases, it may cause side effects such as dehydration, dizziness, headache, fatigue, nausea, itching, and abdominal pain. Before taking this medicine, you should tell your doctor if you are allergic to any of its components or if you are pregnant/breastfeeding, and about all the medications you are taking and pre-existing medical conditions.
