Indapamide Unichem

Indapamide, the active ingredient in Indapamide Unichem, is a thiazide‑like diuretic presented as a tablet for oral use. It treats hypertension and edema associated with congestive heart failure in adult patients.

GNH USA supplies Indapamide Unichem as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, pharmacies and clinics worldwide.

Indapamide is a thiazide‑like diuretic used in cardiovascular disease management.

Hypertension: lowers systolic and diastolic blood pressure to reduce cardiovascular risk. Edema associated with congestive heart failure: promotes fluid excretion to relieve swelling and improve symptoms.

Indapamide may cause a range of adverse reactions, from mild to serious.

Common Side Effects: - Dizziness or light‑headedness - Headache - Fatigue or weakness - Increased urination - Nausea or abdominal discomfort - Electrolyte imbalance (e.g., low potassium)

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Severe dehydration - Significant electrolyte disturbances such as hyponatremia or hypokalemia - Gout attacks - Allergic reactions including rash or angioedema - Blood dyscrasias (e.g., leukopenia, thrombocytopenia) - Pancreatitis

When prescribing Indapamide, clinicians should consider several safety measures.

Monitor electrolytes: check serum potassium and sodium regularly. Assess renal function: evaluate creatinine clearance before and during therapy. Use caution in diabetes: diuretic‑induced hyperglycaemia may occur. Avoid in severe hepatic impairment: impaired metabolism can increase toxicity. Adjust dose in elderly patients: increased sensitivity to volume depletion. Store at room temperature: keep in the original container, protect from moisture and direct sunlight.

Indapamide can interact with other medicines, requiring careful management.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Lithium: risk of lithium toxicity increases. - NSAIDs: may blunt diuretic efficacy and worsen renal function. - ACE inhibitors or ARBs: combined use can lead to excessive potassium loss.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Other antihypertensives: additive blood‑pressure lowering effect. - Digoxin: reduced potassium may raise digoxin levels. - Corticosteroids: may enhance potassium depletion.
