Natrilix SR (1.5mg) Tablets – 30’s | Indapamide Sustained Release for Hypertension & Fluid Balance

Description

Natrilix SR (1.5mg) contains Indapamide (Sustained Release), a thiazide-like diuretic used primarily to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and fluid retention (edema). The “SR” (Sustained Release) formulation ensures a gradual release of medicine throughout the day, offering consistent blood pressure control with a lower risk of electrolyte imbalance.

By helping the kidneys eliminate excess water and salt while relaxing blood vessels, Natrilix SR effectively lowers blood pressure, improving heart, brain, and kidney health and reducing the risk of heart attack or stroke.
