About Indap AT 50 mg/1.25 mg Tablet

Indap AT 50 mg/1.25 mg Tablet is used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure). Hypertension is a medical condition in which the blood exerts high pressure (force exerted by circulating blood) against blood vessel's walls. This condition makes the heart work harder to pump blood into the whole body. Hypertension can cause severe health complications, including stroke, heart failure, heart attack and kidney failure.

Indap AT 50 mg/1.25 mg Tablet contains Atenolol (beta-blocker) and Indapamide (diuretic or water pill). Atenolol belongs to the class of 'beta-blockers' and is used to treat high blood pressure, angina (chest pain) and uneven heartbeats (arrhythmias). It reduces the heart rate and makes the heart to pump blood efficiently throughout the body. Atenolol is also used to protect the heart during the treatment of a heart attack. Indapamide is a thiazide diuretic that inhibits excess salt absorption in the body, resulting in increased chloride, sodium and water excretion through urine. This diuresis process (increased urine production) and excess salts and fluid removal help lower blood pressure. Indapamide is also used to treat fluid retention and overload (oedema) in patients with congestive heart failure.

You can take Indap AT 50 mg/1.25 mg Tablet with food or without food. Swallow it as a whole with a glass of water. Do not chew, bite, or break it. Your doctor will advise you how often you take Indap AT 50 mg/1.25 mg Tablet based on your medical condition.

Most of these side effects of Indap AT 50 mg/1.25 mg Tablet do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor.

Do not stop taking Indap AT 50 mg/1.25 mg Tablet without consulting your doctor since it may worsen your condition and increase the risk of future heart problems. Inform your doctor if you are suffering from kidney, liver or heart diseases, diabetes, gout and asthma. Please tell your doctor if you are taking any other medicines or have any allergic reactions to Indap AT 50 mg/1.25 mg Tablet.

Uses of Indap AT 50 mg/1.25 mg Tablet

Treatment of Hypertension (high blood pressure).

Medicinal Benefits

Indap AT 50 mg/1.25 mg Tablet treats hypertension (high blood pressure) and consists of Atenolol (beta-blocker) and Indapamide (diuretic or water pill). Atenolol is a 'beta-blocker' that treats high blood pressure by blocking the release of stress hormones (like adrenaline or non-adrenaline), thereby relieving angina (chest pain) and uneven heartbeats (arrhythmias). Indapamide is a thiazide diuretic that inhibits excess salt absorption in the body, resulting in increased electrolytes and water excretion through urine. Indapamide is also used to treat fluid retention (oedema) in patients with congestive heart failure. Thus, Indap AT 50 mg/1.25 mg Tablet reduces raised blood pressure by minimizing fluid overload (oedema) and reducing the heart's blood-pumping activity.

  • Keep your weight under control with body mass index (BMI) between 19.5 and 24.9.

  • Limit sodium chloride intake (table salt) in your daily diet to 2300 mg per day or less than 1500 mg is ideal for most adults.

  • If you are taking alcohol, use only one serving for women and two servings for men.

  • Quit smoking to lower the risk of heart diseases. 

  • Avoid chronic stress as it can raise your blood pressure. Try to enjoy and spent time with your loved ones to cope with stress.

  • Monitor your blood pressure daily, and if you notice any fluctuations frequently, please contact your doctor immediately.

  • Try including heart-healthy omega 3 fatty acid-containing foods in your daily diet. You can also use low-fat cooking oils like olive oil, soybean oil, canola oil, and coconut oil that help in lowering your elevated blood pressure.

Special Advise

  • Monitor your blood pressure regularly and seek medical advice if you notice any drastic fluctuations.

  • Let your doctor know if you are advised for any blood examinations as, diuretics like Indapamide can cause changes in the laboratory parameters like low potassium levels in the blood, low sodium in the blood, low blood pressure, increase in uric acid, increase in blood glucose levels in diabetic patients, increase in calcium levels in the blood, and increase in the liver enzyme levels. 

  • Let your anaesthetist or medical staff know that you are taking Indap AT 50 mg/1.25 mg Tablet since Atenolol can lower blood pressure levels when certain anaesthetic medications are given during any operation or surgery.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Hypertension: It is a chronic condition when blood pressure is too high. Blood pressure is defined as the amount of blood pumped by the heart and the amount of resistance exerted by the arteries against the blood flow. If the heart pumps more blood, then arteries become narrower, and in turn, blood pressure becomes high. If blood pressure becomes uncontrolled, it may lead to serious heart diseases, including stroke and heart attack. Additionally, high blood pressure can also cause brain damage (stroke) and kidney failure. Blood pressure is expressed as systolic and diastolic pressures. Systolic blood pressure represents the contraction and relaxation of the heart. Diastolic pressure is exerted in the blood vessels when the heart beats and is in the resting state. Ideal blood pressure should be between 90/60mmHg and 120/80mmHg. Hypertension is detected when systolic blood pressure is more than 140mmHg and diastolic pressure is higher than 90mmHg. Some of the symptoms of hypertension include headache, nosebleeds, vomiting and chest pain.
