Indapamide is a medication that belongs to a group of drugs called diuretics, which help your body get rid of excess water and salt through your urine. It contains the active ingredient indapamide, which is particularly helpful in managing high blood pressure. If you're someone dealing with high blood pressure, especially if other treatments haven't been effective, Indapamide might be suitable for you.
