NATRILIX SR

Natrilix SR – Indapamide for High Blood Pressure and Fluid Retention

What is Natrilix SR?

Natrilix SR is a prescription medication used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and fluid retention (edema) associated with conditions such as heart failure or kidney disease. It contains the active ingredient Indapamide, a thiazide-like diuretic, known for its mild but effective blood pressure-lowering effects.

Natrilix SR features a sustained-release (SR) formulation, allowing for once-daily dosing with long-lasting therapeutic effects.

How Does Natrilix SR Work?

Natrilix SR works by promoting the excretion of sodium and water through the kidneys. This reduces blood volume, which in turn lowers blood pressure. Additionally, Indapamide helps improve arterial elasticity, which reduces the risk of serious cardiovascular events such as stroke or heart attack.
