About Natrilam 5 Tablet 10's

Natrilam 5 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 5 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 5 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.

Try not to stop taking this medicine on your own. Stopping Natrilam 5 Tablet 10's may worsen your condition and increase the risk of a heart attack. Tell your doctor if you are sensitive to Natrilam 5 Tablet 10's, have any kidney/liver diseases, or have heart problems like aortic/mitral stenosis (reduced blood flow from the left atrium to the left ventricle due to narrowing of the mitral valve). Natrilam 5 Tablet 10's is not recommended for use in pregnancy and breastfeeding. Natrilam 5 Tablet 10's may cause dizziness; hence it is advised to drive only when you are alert.

Uses of Natrilam 5 Tablet 10's

Medicinal Benefits

Natrilam 5 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.

Disease/Condition Glossary

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.
