How It Works

Natrixam operates through a dual-mechanism approach. Indapamide functions as a thiazide-like diuretic, reducing sodium reabsorption in the kidneys and decreasing blood volume. Simultaneously, amlodipine acts as a calcium channel blocker, relaxing vascular smooth muscles and promoting vasodilation, thereby reducing overall blood pressure.

Dosage

Standard adult dosage is one tablet daily, preferably taken in the morning at a consistent time. Dosage may be adjusted based on individual patient response, blood pressure monitoring, and healthcare provider recommendations.

Duration of Action

The medication provides continuous blood pressure control with a single daily dose. Peak effectiveness occurs within 6-8 hours of administration, with sustained effects lasting up to 24 hours.

Side Effects

Potential side effects may include dizziness, headache, fatigue, and mild swelling in extremities. Most side effects are mild and often resolve with continued use. Patients should consult their healthcare provider if symptoms persist or worsen.

Warnings

Patients should seek immediate medical attention for signs of dangerously low blood pressure, including severe dizziness, fainting, electrolyte imbalance, or gout flare-ups. Regular medical monitoring is essential during treatment.
