Indalong tablets of prolonged action p / o 1.5 mg №10×3

NameIndalong tab. The main active ingredient Indapamide Release form Long-acting film-coated tablets, 1.5 mg. Dosage 1.5 mg Pharmacological properties Indalong is intended to reduce high blood pressure (arterial hypertension). Indapamide is a diuretic. Most diuretics increase the volume of urine produced by the kidneys. However, indapamide differs from other diuretics in that it only slightly increases the volume of urine produced. Indapamide increases the urinary excretion of sodium, chloride ions and, to a lesser extent, potassium and magnesium ions, which is accompanied by increased diuresis. Indapamide has an antihypertensive effect at doses that do not have a pronounced diuretic effect. Moreover, indapamide is effective in patients with one kidney. The hypotensive effect develops by the end of the first week, persists for 24 hours on the background of a single dose. Indications for use Arterial hypertension. Dosage and administration It is administered orally 1 tablet per day, preferably in the morning. The drug can be taken with or without food. The tablets should be swallowed whole, without crushing or chewing, with a glass of water. Use during pregnancy and lactation Pregnancy Prescribing the drug as a diuretic for the treatment of edema and hypertension during pregnancy is not justified, since this can lead to fetoplacental ischemia with the risk of fetal growth retardation. Breastfeeding period If necessary, take the drug during lactation, breastfeeding should be discontinued, since indapamide passes into breast milk.
