Cardide SR Indapamide 1.5mg Teva

Cardide SR is a prolonged-release oral medication containing the active ingredient Indapamide (1.5 mg). Produced by Teva, it belongs to a class of drugs known as thiazide-like diuretics. It is primarily used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) in adults.
As a diuretic, it works by helping the kidneys remove excess salt and water from the body through the urine. This process reduces the volume of fluid circulating in the blood vessels, which effectively lowers blood pressure. The “SR” (Extended Release) formulation allows the medication to be released slowly into the body, providing consistent blood pressure control over a 24-hour period.

Key Benefits:
– Effective Hypertension Management
– Extended-Release for 24-Hour Control
– Edema Reduction and Fluid Balance
– Reduced Risk of Stroke and Heart Attack

CAUTION: This is a prescription-only medication. It should be used with caution in patients with severe kidney or liver disease, or those with low potassium levels. Side effects may include dizziness, headache, or an upset stomach. Do not stop taking Cardide SR without consulting your healthcare provider, as uncontrolled hypertension increases the risk of serious cardiovascular events.
