Medicinal Benefits

Natrilam 1.5 mg/5 mg Tablet 10's is composed of two medicines, namely: Amlodipine and Indapamide. Amlodipine belongs to the class of calcium channel blockers that relaxes blood vessels so that blood passes through them easily, lowering blood pressure. Indapamide is a thiazide diuretic that inhibits excess salt absorption in the body, resulting in increased chloride, sodium, and water excretion through urine. This diuresis process (increased urine production) and excess salts and fluid removal help lower blood pressure.
