It’s actions help the kidneys get rid of unneeded water and salt from the body into the urine.

High blood pressure increases the workload of the heart and arteries. Over a period, the heart and arteries become unhealthy and don’t function well as a reason. It also damages blood vessels of the brain, heart, and kidneys resulting in a heartstroke, heart failure, or kidney failure in addition to increasing the risk of heart attacks. These risks are averted or managed by controlling the blood pressure.

How does it work?

Indapamide makes the kidneys increase the elimination of sodium, potassium, and water in the urine, causing increased urination. This eventually lowers blood pressure by reducing the fluid in blood vessels and body tissues. By increasing urinary excretion of sodium and water by inhibiting sodium reabsorption in the cortical diluting tubule of the nephron it helps relieve oedema. Its Antihypertensive effect is unknown; however, it has been suggested that it leads to direct arteriolar vasodilatation through calcium channel blockade.
