Rx

Oral antihypertensive; indoline diuretic; sulfonamide-type diuretic similar to thiazides.

For the treatment of heart failure. Oral dosage Adults

2.5 mg PO once daily, initially. May increase the dose to 5 mg PO once daily after 1 week if the response in inadequate. Doses more than 5 mg have not appeared to provide additional benefits and are associated with a greater degree of hypokalemia. Guidelines recommend adding a thiazide diuretic to standard therapy for hypertensive patients with reduced ejection fraction heart failure (HFrEF) and mild fluid retention. Diuretics should also be used in preserved ejection fraction heart failure (HFpEF).

For the treatment of hypertension. Oral dosage Adults

Initially, 1.25 mg PO once daily. Increase to 2.5 mg PO once daily after 4 weeks if needed. If satisfactory response not achieved after 4 weeks of therapy, dose may be further increased to 5 mg PO once daily, but adding another antihypertensive agent should be considered. Doses greater than 5 mg have not appeared to provide additional benefits and are associated with a greater degree of hypokalemia. Usual dose is 1.25 mg to 2.5 mg PO once daily.

Hepatic Impairment

Dosage reduction may be needed; indapamide is extensively metabolized in the liver. Use with caution in patients with hepatic disease since minor alterations of fluid and electrolyte balance may precipitate hepatic coma.

Renal Impairment

CrCl >= 30 mL/min: no dosage adjustment needed.
CrCl < 30 mL/min: do not use, indapamide is less effective as renal function declines.
 
Intermittent Hemodialysis:
Avoid use; indapamide is ineffective in end-stage renal disease. Indapamide is not removed by hemodialysis.

Acarbose: (Moderate) Indapamide can decrease insulin sensitivity thereby leading to glucose intolerance and hyperglycemia. Diuretic-induced hypokalemia may also lead to hyperglycemia. Because of this, a potential pharmacodynamic interaction exists between indapamide and antidiabetic agents, like alpha-glucosidase inhibitors.
Acetaminophen; Aspirin, ASA; Caffeine: (Moderate) Salicylates can increase the risk of renal toxicity in patients receiving diuretics because salicylates inhibit renal prostaglandin synthesis, which can lead to fluid retention and increased peripheral vascular resistance.

Thiazide diuretics and related drugs like indapamide may increase urinary pH, acting as a urinary alkalinizer, thus reducing urinary excretion and increasing blood concentrations of the amphetamine. Co-administration of amphetamines and urinary alkalinizing agents should be avoided if possible. If needed, monitor for common amphetamine side effects, including decreased appetite, anxiety, dizziness, dry mouth, irritability, insomnia, nausea, increased blood pressure or increased heart rate.

Potassium levels should be within the normal range prior and during administration of these agents. In the absence of electrolyte imbalances, these agents can be used together safely.
Articaine; Epinephrine: (Moderate) Sympathomimetics can antagonize the antihypertensive effects of vasodilators when administered concomitantly. Patients should be monitored to confirm that the desired antihypertensive effect is achieved.
Asenapine: (Moderate) Secondary to alpha-blockade, asenapine can produce vasodilation that may result in additive effects during concurrent use of antihypertensive agents. The potential reduction in blood pressure can precipitate orthostatic hypotension and associated dizziness, tachycardia, and syncope. If concurrent use of asenapine and antihypertensive agents is necessary, patients should be counseled on measures to prevent orthostatic hypotension, such as sitting on the edge of the bed for several minutes prior to standing in the morning and rising slowly from a seated position. Close monitoring of blood pressure is recommended until the full effects of the combination therapy are known.

Although the mechanism of action is not clear, indapamide appears to act principally on the distal convoluted tubules of the nephron. The drug enhances the excretion of sodium, chloride, and water by inhibiting the transport of sodium ions across the renal tubule. The hypovolemic action of indapamide is believed to be responsible for the drug's beneficial cardiovascular effects. Decreased plasma and extracellular fluid volume, along with a decreased peripheral vascular resistance (secondary to loss of sodium, or to vascular autoregulatory feedback systems), act to lower blood pressure in hypertensive patients who are receiving indapamide. The drug may also produce calcium-channel blockade in smooth muscle cells, thereby causing arteriolar vasodilation. In general, diuretics worsen glucose tolerance and exert detrimental effects on the lipid profile. Indapamide, however, appears to reduce LVH and not exert detrimental effects on either glucose tolerance or serum lipids.

Indapamide is administered orally. Due to its lipophilic nature, indapamide distributes widely throughout the body tissues and is 71—79% plasma protein-bound. It preferentially and reversibly distributes to erythrocytes, which leads to higher levels in whole blood as compared to plasma. It is not known whether the drug crosses the placenta or is distributed into breast milk. Indapamide undergoes hepatic metabolism, with 60% of a dose being excreted in the urine within 48 hours, and between 16—23% being excreted in the feces via the bile. The elimination half-life is 14—18 hours. The pharmacokinetics of indapamide are not altered by hemodialysis.

Oral Route

Following oral administration, indapamide is completely absorbed from the GI tract. Absorption is not affected by food or antacids.

Pregnancy

There are no adequate and well-controlled studies of indapamide in pregnant women. Reproductive studies in rats, mice, and rabbits at indapamide doses up to 6,250 times the therapeutic human dose did not reveal evidence of impaired fertility or fetal harm. Many diuretics cross the placenta and appear in cord blood. Indapamide should only be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed. Indapamide is structurally similar to thiazide diuretics. The risks of thiazide diuretic use in pregnancy increase for those pregnant patients with reduced uteroplacental perfusion (e.g., preeclampsia or intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR)). In general, the bulk of the evidence does not indicate that thiazide diuretics are teratogenic in the 1st trimester, although, many experts limit their use to the 2nd and 3rd trimesters. Neonatal thrombocytopenia has been reported following maternal use of thiazide diuretics near term; at term, thiazide diuretics have been reported to cross the placenta. Potential risks from thiazide use include electrolyte imbalances in the newborn, pancreatitis, jaundice, or neonatal complications resulting from such maternal complications such as hyperglycemia, electrolyte imbalance, or hypotension. If indapamide is used near the time of obstetric delivery, monitor the neonate for signs of metabolic imbalance and hypotension.

According to the manufacturer, it is not known whether indapamide is excreted into breast-milk and should not be used in breast-feeding women. Although it is a sulfonamide-type diuretic similar to thiazides, indapamide is classified as an indolines. High doses of some thiazide diuretics have been used off-label to suppress lactation, and thus should be used with caution during the establishment of breast-feeding. In general, the use of bendroflumethiazide, chlorthalidone, chlorothiazide, and hydrochlorothiazide is considered usually compatible with breast-feeding by the American Academy of Pediatrics due to a lack of noted adverse effects on nursing infants.
