Description

Natrilam 1.5/5mg Tablet is manufactured by Servier Pharmaceuticals and combines two active ingredients, Indapamide and Amlodipine, in a single tablet. Indapamide is a thiazide-like diuretic, while Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker.

Ingredients

Each Natrilam tablet contains 1.5mg of Indapamide and 5mg of Amlodipine as its active ingredients, along with standard pharmaceutical excipients used to form and stabilize the tablet.

Dosage Form

Natrilam is available as an oral tablet, packaged in a strip totalling 30 tablets, meant for adult use.

Uses

Natrilam is commonly used to help manage high blood pressure in adults, particularly in situations where a single blood pressure medicine on its own isn’t providing the level of control needed. Indapamide works by helping the kidneys release excess salt and water, reducing fluid volume in the blood vessels, while Amlodipine works by relaxing blood vessels to ease blood flow. Together, this combination offers round-the-clock blood pressure support with once-daily dosing.

How to use

Natrilam tablets are generally taken once a day, ideally in the morning, swallowed whole with a glass of water, with or without food. This medicine should not be stopped suddenly or have its dose changed without first speaking to your doctor, as blood pressure medicines are usually adjusted gradually and under supervision. Always follow the guidance of your doctor or pharmacist regarding the right amount and duration for your situation, and attend any blood tests they recommend to monitor your progress.

Side Effects

Like all medicines, Natrilam may cause side effects in some individuals. Commonly reported ones include dizziness, swelling in the ankles or feet, headache, tiredness, and muscle cramps. Most of these tend to be mild and manageable, but if you notice anything unusual, persistent, or severe — such as a fast heartbeat or significant swelling — it’s best to check in with your doctor or pharmacist rather than self-managing it.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Women who are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding should speak with their doctor before starting Natrilam. Professional guidance is important to weigh the benefits against any potential risk and to discuss safer alternatives if needed.

Storage Instructions

Store Natrilam tablets at room temperature, away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture. Keep the strip in its original packaging until use, and keep it out of reach of children. Do not use tablets beyond the expiry date printed on the pack.
