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.
