Can I take Indapamide and Losartan together?

Why this happens

Both medicines work to lower blood pressure but in different ways. Indapamide is a 'water tablet' (diuretic) that removes salt and water from the body, while losartan relaxes blood vessels. When used together, they have an additive effect. Additionally, indapamide can lower potassium levels while losartan tends to raise them; while this can sometimes balance out, it can also put strain on the kidneys.

Your doctor will likely monitor your blood pressure and perform regular blood tests to check your kidney function and salt levels. To prevent dizziness, try to stay well-hydrated and get up slowly from a sitting or lying position. Contact your doctor if you feel very dizzy, unusually tired, or if you notice a decrease in how much you urinate.
