Answered by Secondmedic Expert

Indapamide SR 1.5mg is a prescription medication that can be used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). It is generally prescribed for patients who have not responded to other medications or in whom side effects of other medications are a concern, such as elderly patients and those with impaired kidney or liver function. The medicine belongs to a class of drugs known as diuretics, which help the body rid itself of excess sodium and water, lowering blood pressure levels in the process. When taken correctly, Indapamide SR 1.5mg has been shown to provide both immediate and long-term benefits for hypertensive patients by reducing systolic (upper number) and diastolic (lower number) readings on one’s blood pressure readings within 3-4 weeks time frame after initiating therapy. Additionally, it can reduce cardiovascular risk factors such as stroke and heart attack over time when taken on an average dose of 10 - 15mg daily or less depending on your medical condition..
