Divret (Indapamide)
What is Divret (Indapamide) used for? Divret (Indapamide) is an oral diuretic prescribed to treat patients suffering from hypertension. It operates by preventing sodium absorption in the kidneys to draw excess medication out of the body to be eliminated through urination. This action dilates the blood vessels allowing easier blood flow and reducing the amount of work required by the heart to pump the blood. Your doctor may prescribe it along with other medications or for the treatment of other unlisted conditions. How should I use Divret (Indapamide)? Divret (Indapamide) should always be used according to your doctor`s instructions to get the safest and most effective results from treatment. The typical dosage is one tablet administered daily, but your particular directions will be based on your age, weight, health condition, and the severity of your symptoms. These should be swallowed whole and unaltered along with a large glass water. The doses may be taken with or without food, but a snack or meal is suggested prior to use if you experience nausea. Never split, chew, or crush the tablets before use to avoid destroying or altering the effects of their contents. It is also not recommended to take your dose just before going to sleep as increased urination may cause sleep disturbances.
