Indapamide is a thiazide-like diuretic.
Its primary action is to increase the amount of salt and water the kidneys remove from the blood, leading to a reduction in blood volume and, consequently, lower blood pressure. Through a process called diuresis, or increased urine production, it flushes out extra sodium and water from the body to reduce fluid overload. Additionally, it relaxes and widens blood vessels, a process called vasodilation. This makes it easier for blood to flow through vessels, further reducing pressure on artery walls. It may involve blocking calcium channels and affecting prostaglandin production. These dual actions work in tandem to effectively manage hypertension and edema.
