Natrilix SR is a prolonged-release film-coated tablet containing indapamide as active ingredient. This medicine is intended to reduce high blood pressure (hypertension) in adults. Indapamide is a diuretic. Most diuretics increase the amount of urine produced by the kidneys.
However, indapamide is different from other diuretics, as it only causes a slight increase in the amount of urine produced.
In addition, indapamide widens blood vessels so that blood passes through more easily. This helps to lower blood pressure.
