            Warnings

            Contraindications

            Hypersensitivity to indapamide or sulfonamides

            Anuria

            Cautions

            Serum concentrations of uric acid increased by an average of 0.69 mg/100 mL in patients treated with indapamide 1.25 mg, and by an average of 1.0 mg/100 mL in patients treated with indapamide 2.5 mg and 5.0 mg, and frank gout may be precipitated in certain patients receiving indapamide; periodically monitor serum concentrations of uric acid during treatment

            Use with caution in patients with severe renal disease, as reduced plasma volume may exacerbate or precipitate azotemia; if progressive renal impairment observed consider withholding or discontinuing diuretic therapy; renal function tests should be performed periodically during treatment

            Use with caution in patients with impaired hepatic function or progressive liver disease; minor alterations of fluid and electrolyte balance may precipitate hepatic coma

            Latent diabetes may become manifest and insulin requirements in diabetic patients may be altered during thiazide administration; serum concentrations of glucose should be monitored routinely during treatment

            Calcium excretion is decreased by diuretics pharmacologically related to indapamide; prolonged treatment with drugs pharmacologically related to indapamide may be rarely associated with hypercalcemia and hypophosphatemia secondary to physiologic changes in parathyroid gland; treatment should be discontinued before tests for parathyroid function are performed

            Therapy may decrease serum protein-bound iodine levels without signs of thyroid disturbance

            Thiazides have exacerbated or activated systemic lupus erythematosus; consider possibility with this therapy as well

            Angle closure glaucoma

            • Sulfonamide or sulfonamide-derivative drugs, like indapamide, can cause an idiosyncratic reaction resulting in acute angle-closure glaucoma and elevated intraocular pressure with or without a noticeable acute myopic shift and/or choroidal effusions; symptoms may include acute onset of decreased visual acuity or ocular pain and typically occur within hours to weeks of drug initiation
            • Untreated, angle-closure glaucoma may result in permanent visual field loss; primary treatment is to discontinue indapamide as rapidly as possible; prompt medical or surgical treatments may need to be considered if intraocular pressure remains uncontrolled
            • Risk factors for developing acute angle-closure glaucoma may include a history of sulfonamide or penicillin allergy

            Fluid and Electrolyte Imbalances

            • Severe cases of hyponatremia, accompanied by hypokalemia reported with recommended doses primarily in elderly females; appears to be dose-related
            • Increased risk of hyponatremia with 2.5 mg and 5 mg doses reported; hyponatremia considered possibly clinically significant (< 125 mEq/L) not reported with 1.25 mg dosage; thus, patients should start at 1.25 mg dose and maintained at lowest possible dose;
            • Hypokalemia occurs commonly with diuretics; electrolyte monitoring is essential, particularly in patients at increased risk from hypokalemia, such as those with cardiac arrhythmias or who are receiving concomitant cardiac glycosides
            • Perform periodic determinations of serum electrolytes at appropriate intervals; patients should be observed for clinical signs of fluid or electrolyte imbalance, such as hyponatremia, hypochloremic alkalosis, or hypokalemia
            • Warning signs include dry mouth, thirst, weakness, fatigue, lethargy, drowsiness, restlessness, muscle pains or cramps, hypotension, oliguria, tachycardia, and gastrointestinal disturbance
            • Electrolyte determinations are particularly important in patients who are vomiting excessively or receiving parenteral fluids, in patients subject to electrolyte imbalance (including those with heart failure, kidney disease, and cirrhosis), and in patients on a salt-restricted diet
            • The risk of hypokalemia secondary to diuresis and natriuresis is increased when larger doses are used when the diuresis is brisk when severe cirrhosis is present and during concomitant use of corticosteroids or ACTH
            • Interference with adequate oral intake of electrolytes will also contribute to hypokalemia; hypokalemia can sensitize or exaggerate response of heart to toxic effects of digitalis, such as increased ventricular irritability
            • Dilutional hyponatremia may occur in edematous patients; the appropriate treatment is restriction of water rather than administration of salt, except in rare instances when the hyponatremia is life-threatening
            • However, in actual salt depletion, appropriate replacement is the treatment of choice; any chloride deficit that may occur during treatment is generally mild and usually does not require specific treatment except in extraordinary circumstances as in liver or renal disease
            • Thiazide-like diuretics have been shown to increase the urinary excretion of magnesium; this may result in hypomagnesemia

            Drug interaction overview

            • In general, diuretics should not be given concomitantly with lithium because they reduce its renal clearance and add a high risk of lithium toxicity; read prescribing information for lithium preparations before use of such concomitant therapy

            INDAPAMIDE - ORAL

            (in-DAP-a-mide)

            COMMON BRAND NAME(S): Lozol

            USES: This medication is used to treat high blood pressure. Indapamide is also used to reduce extra fluid in the body (edema) caused by heart failure. Lowering high blood pressure helps prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems. Indapamide belongs to a class of drugs known as diuretics/"water pills." It works by causing you to make more urine. This helps your body get rid of extra salt and water. This can lessen symptoms such as shortness of breath or swelling in your ankles or feet.

            HOW TO USE: Take this medication by mouth with or without food as directed by your doctor, usually once daily in the morning. If you take this drug too close to bedtime, you may need to wake up to urinate. It is best to take this medication at least 4 hours before your bedtime.The dosage is based on your medical condition and response to treatment.Take this medication regularly in order to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, take it at the same time each day. Keep taking this medication even if you feel well. Most people with high blood pressure do not feel sick. It may take up to several weeks before you get the full benefit of this drug.If you also take certain drugs to lower your cholesterol (bile acid-binding resins such as cholestyramine or colestipol), take indapamide at least 4 hours before or at least 4 hours after these medications.Tell your doctor if your condition does not get better or if it gets worse (your blood pressure readings remain high or increase).

            SIDE EFFECTS: Dizziness or headache may occur. If any of these effects last or get worse, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly.Remember that this medication has been prescribed because your doctor has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.Indapamide may cause dehydration and electrolyte imbalance. Tell your doctor right away if you have any symptoms of dehydration or electrolyte imbalance, including: extreme thirst, very dry mouth, muscle cramps/weakness, fast/irregular heartbeat, confusion, decreased urination.Tell your doctor right away if you have any serious side effects, including: decrease in vision, eye pain.A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare. However, get medical help right away if you notice any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including: rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, trouble breathing.This is not a complete list of possible side effects. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.In the US -Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or at www.fda.gov/medwatch.In Canada - Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to Health Canada at 1-866-234-2345.
