Indapamide

[AnimalNatureLover]

I have been on 10mg Amlodipine and 10mg Ramipril for some years now.

My blood pressure has slight increased to 135/96. Due to the raised DBP, my doctors wants me to add Indapamide.

Is anybody taking Indapamide? are there any side affects? Would be interested in hearging from anyone who is taking all three

Thanks

I’m not on these three, AnimalNatureLover, but I do have a comment!

There won’t necessarily be many posters on here who are taking this particular combination, and the likelihood of them having the same personal medical history as you, family history, ethnicity, height and weight and so on, is unlikely.

So if someone replies to you “yes I’m on these and I’m not very happy” and someone else says “yes I’m on these and feel much better” you are not much further ahead.

Your doc is prescribing these for you as an individual.

It could be to your advantage, though, to speak to the pharmacist employed by your doctor’s group of surgeries as they will have access to your records (your receptionist will know) and will know of any documented drug interactions. And you can read up on the documented side effects by googling the name of the drug.

hello,

I disagree with Happyrosie and have shared my views many times before! But I will share them again because I think it’s important.

This community was set up as a forum for sharing lived experiences. Most of us don’t need telling to see our GP or pharmacist. We also know that drugs affect people differently.

This forum is for sharing our experiences of using particular drugs among other things. I hope a few forum members will share their experiences with you, as this what the forum is all about!

Thanks
