Mechanism of action

Indapamide works primarily by blocking the sodium-chloride cotransporter in the distal convoluted tubule, leading to increased urinary sodium and water excretion. This reduces intravascular volume and peripheral vascular resistance, thereby lowering blood pressure. It also has mild vasodilatory properties independent of its diuretic effect.
