Indapen Sr (Indapamide)

Indapamide blocks the sodium‑chloride transporter in the distal convoluted tubule of the kidney. By preventing reabsorption of these ions, it promotes the excretion of water and salts, decreasing blood volume and peripheral resistance, which together lower blood pressure and reduce fluid retention.

The exact dose of Indapen Sr is determined by the prescribing clinician based on the patient’s medical condition, age, kidney function and response to therapy. Dosage adjustments are made individually; patients should follow the prescriber’s instructions and not alter the dose on their own.

Indapamide is classified as Pregnancy Category B, indicating that animal studies have not shown risk to the fetus and there are no adequate human studies. It may be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed. Limited data are available for breastfeeding, so a healthcare professional should evaluate the risk‑benefit balance.

GNH India works with hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details and any necessary import documentation.

Indapamide belongs to the thiazide‑like class, offering a longer duration of action and a milder impact on potassium compared with classic thiazides such as hydrochlorothiazide. It also provides modest vasodilatory effects, which can result in better blood‑pressure control for some patients while maintaining a comparable safety profile.

Indapen Sr should be stored at room temperature, below 25 °C. Keep the tablets in the original packaging, protect them from moisture and direct sunlight, and ensure the container is tightly closed to maintain product stability.

Indapen Sr is taken orally, usually with a full glass of water. It can be taken with or without food, but patients should follow the prescribing doctor’s guidance on timing and whether to take it in the morning or evening to minimize nighttime urination.

Serious risks include severe dehydration, electrolyte disturbances such as low potassium or sodium, and rare allergic reactions like angioedema. Patients should be alert for symptoms such as dizziness, rapid weight loss, muscle cramps, or rash and seek medical attention promptly if they occur.

Indapen Sr is contraindicated in patients with anuria, severe renal impairment, or known hypersensitivity to indapamide or other sulfonamide‑derived drugs. Caution is also advised for individuals with uncontrolled diabetes, gout, or those taking lithium, as the drug may exacerbate these conditions.
