Indapamide tablets are taken orally and are generally prescribed for long-term management of high blood pressure. This medication is effective in reducing the risk of stroke, heart attack, and other cardiovascular complications. It may also be used in conjunction with other antihypertensive agents to enhance blood pressure control. Regular monitoring of blood pressure and kidney function is recommended while on this medication.Active substance:
