Indapamide is a diuretic that increases urine output to reduce fluid overload, blood pressure, and edema in hypertension, heart failure, and renal conditions.
Diuretics increase urine production by reducing renal reabsorption of sodium and water at different sites in the kidney. Different classes (thiazide, loop, potassium-sparing) have different mechanisms and potency.
Used for hypertension, heart failure, oedema (liver, kidney, or heart-related), and certain electrolyte disorders.
