Indapamide (brand name: Lozal) is a diuretic drug indicated for hypertension and symptomatic congestive heart failure. It acts by inhibiting sodium reabsorption at the proximal convoluted tubule in the kidneys, causing increased excretion of salt (sodium chloride) and water.[4] Indapamide has been found to be effective at lowering blood pressure[5][6][7], both alone[8]and when added to other antihypertensive drugs such as ACE inhibitors,[9][10] angiotensin receptor blockers,[11],[12],[13],[14], beta blockers[15], calcium channel blockers [16]. In addition it has been shown modestly improve symptoms in patients with CHF when compared placebo.[17],[18]. The most common adverse effects reported with indapamide therapy are headache, dizziness, fatigue, diarrhoea., constipation
