How Indapamide + Perindopril works
Indapamide is a diuretic, often called a water pill. It increases urine output, helping to remove excess water and salt from the body. This reduces the volume of fluid within the blood vessels, thereby lowering blood pressure.
Perindopril is an ACE inhibitor that helps lower blood pressure. It works by stopping a hormone in your body from turning into a stronger form that would otherwise make your blood vessels tighter. This helps keep your blood vessels relaxed, making it easier for blood to flow and reducing blood pressure.
Working together, these two components help manage high blood pressure effectively and reduce the risk of heart-related complications.
