Natrilam 10 Tablet 10's belongs to the class of medication called 'anti-hypertensive drugs', primarily used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure). Hypertension is a medical condition in which the blood exerts high pressure (force exerted by circulating blood) against the blood vessel's walls. This condition makes the heart work harder in pumping blood to the whole body. Hypertension can cause severe health complications, including stroke, heart failure, heart attack and kidney failure.

Natrilam 10 Tablet 10's consists of Amlodipine and Indapamide.  Amlodipine relaxes blood vessels so that blood passes through them easily, thereby lowering blood pressure. Indapamide 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. 

The common side effects of Natrilam 10 Tablet 10's include nausea, stomach pain, headache, sleepiness, ankle swelling, flushing (warm sensation in the face, ears, neck, and trunk), palpitations (pounding heartbeat), constipation, muscle pain, and tiredness. Most of these side effects resolve gradually over time and do not usually require medical attention. However, if you notice any side effects that are not manageable, it is advised to consult your doctor.

Natrilam 10 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.

Let your doctor know if you have any history of severe kidney or liver diseases, low potassium levels (hypokalaemia), chest pain (angina), poor blood circulation or controlled heart failure, first-degree heart block, diabetes, thyrotoxicosis (a condition caused by an overactive thyroid gland), liver problems and adrenal gland diseases. Let your doctor know if you have anuria (kidneys aren't producing urine), fluid or electrolyte imbalance, lupus erythematosus (an autoimmune inflammatory disease-causing scaly red patches on the skin), gout, abnormal heart rhythms, thyroid disorders or asthma.

Hypertension: When blood pressure is excessively high, it becomes a chronic problem. Blood pressure is determined by how much blood the heart pumps and how much resistance the arteries provide to the flow of blood. Blood pressure rises, and arteries constrict as the heart pumps more blood. If not treated, uncontrolled blood pressure can cause major cardiac conditions, including heart attack and stroke. Kidney failure and brain damage are two more effects of high blood pressure. Headache, bleeding from the nose, nausea, and chest discomfort are a few signs of hypertension.
