What is Dapa (Indapamide Hemihydrate) used for?

Dapa (Indapamide Hemihydrate) is a diuretic medication prescribed to treat patients suffering from high blood pressure (hypertension) or oedema (fluid retention). It operates by preventing sodium absorption in the body to draw excess out of the system to be eliminated through urination. Your doctor may also prescribe this medication to treat other unlisted conditions.

How should I use Dapa (Indapamide Hemihydrate)?

Follow your doctor`s instructions for using Dapa (Indapamide Hemihydrate) to get the safest and most effective results. It is normally taken orally once each day, usually in the morning to avoid sleep disturbances caused by urination, but your particular regimen will be determined by the severity of your symptoms and health condition. Always swallow the tablets whole without crushing, chewing, or splitting them as this may destroy or alter the effects of their contents. You are also suggested to increase your fluid intake to prevent dehydration as this medication causes increased urination. If you have any questions about using the medicine, ask your doctor or pharmacist to ensure the correct application.
