Natrixam 1.5/5mg Tablet (Modified Release) x30

Natrixam 1.5/5mg is a combination medication containing indapamide and amlodipine, designed to provide targeted blood pressure management for patients requiring multi-drug therapeutic approach.

Uses

Natrixam 1.5/5mg provides dual complementary antihypertensive effects by promoting sodium and water excretion while relaxing blood vessels. It is indicated when monotherapy alone has not reduced elevated blood pressure sufficiently.

Benefits

Natrixam 1.5/5mg offers multiple health advantages:

• Achieves better BP lowering than individual components

• Appropriate for Stage 1 and some Stage 2 hypertensives
• Provides comprehensive blood pressure control
• Reduces strain on cardiovascular system
• Minimizes medication complexity
• Improves overall heart health
• Offers consistent blood pressure management

How It Works

Indapamide reduces blood volume by increasing urinary sodium excretion while amlodipine causes vasodilation by blocking calcium channels in vascular smooth muscle. This dual-mechanism approach provides a comprehensive approach to blood pressure management.
