Indapamida Retard Mylan

Indapamida Retard Mylan Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, Food Interaction and all others data.

Indapamida Retard Mylan is a diuretic antihypertensive. It appears to cause vasodilation, probably by inhibiting the passage of calcium and other ions (sodium, potassium) across membranes. It has an extra-renal antihypertensive action resulting in a decrease in vascular hyperreactivity and a reduction in total peripheral and arteriolar resistance.

Classified as a sulfonamide diuretic, indapamide is an effective antihypertensive agent and by extension, has shown efficacy in the prevention of target organ damage.Administration of indapamide produces water and electrolyte loss, with higher doses associated with increased diuresis. Severe and clinically significant electrolyte disturbances may occur with indapamide use - for example, hypokalemia resulting from renal potassium loss may lead to QTc prolongation. Further electrolyte imbalances may occur due to renal excretion of sodium, chloride, and magnesium.

Other indapamide induced changes include increases in plasma renin and aldosterone, and reduced calcium excretion in the urine. In many studies investigating the effects of indapamide in both non-diabetic and diabetic hypertensive patients, glucose tolerance was not significantly altered. However, additional studies are necessary to assess the long term metabolic impacts of indapamide, since thiazide related impaired glucose tolerance can take several years to develop in non-diabetic patients.

Protein binding

Approximately 76-79% of indapamide is protein bound. Indapamide binds primarily to alpha 1-acid glycoprotein and less significantly to serum albumin and lipoproteins. In the blood, indapamide is extensively and preferentially bound to erythrocytes.

Uses

Indapamida Retard Mylan is used for the treatment of essential hypertension . It is effective in treating hypertension in patients with renal function impairment, although its diuretic effect is reduced. Indapamida Retard Mylan is also used for the treatment of salt and fluid retention associated with congestive heart failure.

Indapamida Retard Mylan is also used to associated treatment for these conditions: High Blood Pressure (Hypertension), Recurrent Nephrolithiasis, Sodium and fluid retention

How Indapamida Retard Mylan works

Indapamida Retard Mylan acts on the nephron, specifically at the proximal segment of the distal convoluted tubule where it inhibits the Na+/Cl- cotransporter, leading to reduced sodium reabsorption. As a result, sodium and water are retained in the lumen of the nephron for urinary excretion. The effects that follow include reduced plasma volume, reduced venous return, lower cardiac output, and ultimately decreased blood pressure.

Interestingly, it is likely that thiazide-like diuretics such as indapamide have additional blood pressure lowering mechanisms that are unrelated to diuresis. This is exemplified by the observation that the antihypertensive effects of thiazides are sustained 4-6 weeks after initiation of therapy, despite recovering plasma and extracellular fluid volumes.

Some studies have suggested that indapamide may decrease responsiveness to pressor agents while others have suggested it can decrease peripheral resistance. Although it is clear that diuresis contributes to the antihypertensive effects of indapamide, further studies are needed to investigate the medication’s ability to decrease peripheral vascular resistance and relax vascular smooth muscle.

Dosage

Indapamida Retard Mylan dosage

One tablet daily preferably in the morning. In more sever case Indapamida Retard Mylan can be combine with other categories of anti-hypertensive agent. The safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients have not been established

Side Effects

Side effects of Indapamida Retard Mylan include headache, anorexia, gastric irritation,nausea, vomiting, constipation, diarrhoea etc.

Toxicity

Indapamida Retard Mylan overdose symptoms may include but are not limited to nausea, vomiting, gastrointestinal disorders, electrolyte disturbances and weakness. Other signs of overdose include respiratory depression and severe hypotension. In cases of overdose, supportive care interventions may be necessary to manage symptoms. Emesis and gastric lavage may be recommended to empty the stomach; however, patients should be monitored closely for any electrolyte or fluid imbalances.

Precaution

Monitoring of potassium and uric acid serum levels is recommended, especially in subjects with a predisposition or sensitivity to hypokalemia and in patients with gout. Although no allergic manifestations have been reported during clinical trials, patients with a history of allergy to sulfonamide derivatives should be closely monitored.

Interaction

Other antihypertensive: Indapamida Retard Mylan may add to or potentiate the action of other antihypertensive drugs.

Norepinephrine: Indapamida Retard Mylan like thiazides, may decrease arterial responsiveness to norepinephrine.

Lithium: In general, diuretics should not be given concomitantly with lithium because they reduce its renal clearance and add a high risk of lithium toxicity.

Food Interaction

  • Avoid alcohol. Alcohol may potentiate orthostatic hypotension.
  • Increase consumption of potassium-rich foods. Indapamida Retard Mylan my cause potassium depletion leading to hypokalemia.
  • Take with or without food.

Indapamida Retard Mylan Alcohol interaction

[Moderate]

Many psychotherapeutic and CNS-active agents (e.g., anxiolytics, sedatives, hypnotics, antidepressants, antipsychotics, opioids, alcohol, muscle relaxants) exhibit hypotensive effects, especially during initiation of therapy and dose escalation.

Coadministration with antihypertensives and other hypotensive agents, in particular vasodilators and alpha-blockers, may result in additive effects on blood pressure and orthostasis.

Caution and close monitoring for development of hypotension is advised during coadministration of these agents.

Some authorities recommend avoiding alcohol in patients receiving vasodilating antihypertensive drugs.

Patients should be advised to avoid rising abruptly from a sitting or recumbent position and to notify their physician if they experience dizziness, lightheadedness, syncope, orthostasis, or tachycardia.

Indapamida Retard Mylan Cholesterol interaction

[Moderate] Thiazide diuretics may increase serum triglyceride and cholesterol levels, primarily LDL and VLDL.

Whether these effects are dose-related and sustained during chronic therapy are unknown.

Patients with preexisting hyperlipidemia may require closer monitoring during thiazide therapy, and adjustments made accordingly in their lipid-lowering regimen

Volume of Distribution

Some sources report an apparent volume of distribution of 25 L for indapamide, while others report a value of approximately 60 L.

Elimination Route

The bioavailability of indapamide is virtually complete after an oral dose and is unaffected by food or antacids. Indapamida Retard Mylan is highly lipid-soluble due to its indoline moiety - a characteristic that likely explains why indapamide’s renal clearance makes up less than 10% of its total systemic clearance. The Tmax occurs approximately 2.3 hours after oral administration. The Cmax and AUC0-24 values are 263 ng/mL and 2.95 ug/hr/mL, respectively.

Half Life

Indapamida Retard Mylan is characterized by biphasic elimination. In healthy subjects, indapamide's elimination half-life can range from 13.9 to 18 hours. The long half-life is conducive to once-daily dosing.

Clearance

Indapamida Retard Mylan's renal and hepatic clearance values are reported to be 1.71 mL/min and 20-23.4 mL/min, respectively.

Elimination Route

An estimated 60-70% of indapamide is eliminated in the urine, while 16-23% is eliminated in the feces.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding use

There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women and so Indapamida Retard Mylan is not recommended. Mothers taking Indapamida Retard Mylan should not breast feed.

Contraindication

This drug must not be taken in the following conditions:

  • Hypersensitivity to sulfonamides
