1. What Natrilix is and what it is used for

Natrilix is a medicine containing indapamide, a substance that belongs to a group of medicines called "thiazide diuretics", which increase the amount of urine produced by the kidneys. However, indapamide is different from other diuretics because it causes only a slight increase in the amount of urine produced.
Natrilix is used to reduce high blood pressure (essential arterial hypertension).

2. What you should know before taking Natrilix

Do not take Natrilix:
if you are allergic to indapamide or to any other sulfonamide or to any of the other ingredients of
this medicine ( listed in section 6 );
if you have severe kidney disease (inadequate renal function or absence of urine (anuria));
if you suffer from severe liver problems or a condition called hepatic encephalopathy (brain disturbances due to the circulation of "toxic" substances related to liver failure);
if you have low levels of potassium in your blood (hypokalaemia);
if you have recently had a stroke (cerebral vascular infarction);
if you have phaeochromocytoma (a tumour of the adrenal glands causing increased blood pressure);
if you suffer from a disease called Conn's syndrome (a disorder of the adrenal glands causing excessive production of the hormone aldosterone, leading to increased blood pressure).

Warnings and precautions
Exercise particular caution:
if you have had or currently suffer from low levels of sodium in your blood (hyponatraemia);
if you have had or currently suffer from low levels of potassium in your blood; low potassium levels may occur
in elderly patients, debilitated patients, or those taking multiple medications (polypharmacy), in patients with liver cirrhosis (a liver disease causing fluid accumulation in the abdominal cavity), in patients with heart disease (coronary artery disease or heart failure, long QT syndrome), or in patients suffering from cardiac arrhythmias (particularly torsades de pointes).
if you have been found to have increased levels of calcium in your blood (hypercalcaemia): thiazide diuretics
can reduce calcium excretion in urine and may cause a mild and transient increase in blood calcium levels.
Your doctor may perform blood tests to check whether you have low levels of sodium or potassium or high levels of calcium in your blood.
In addition, you should exercise caution:
if you suffer from gout or diabetes;
if your kidney function is reduced, as Natrilix does not work properly in patients with even slightly impaired kidney function;
if you suffer from liver problems, as Natrilix may trigger the onset of hepatic encephalopathy
(see section Do not take Natrilix );
if you experience visual disturbances or eye pain. These may be symptoms of fluid accumulation in the vascular layer of the eye (choroidal effusion) or increased intraocular pressure, which may occur within hours or weeks after taking Viacorinda. This may lead to permanent vision loss if not treated.
If you previously had an allergy to penicillin or sulfonamides, you may be at increased risk of developing an allergic reaction;
if you suffer from muscle disorders including muscle pain, tenderness, weakness, or cramps.

Photosensitivity
Cases of photosensitivity reactions (skin reaction to light causing redness and burning sensations; an abnormal and exaggerated reaction even after brief exposure to sunlight) have been reported with the use of indapamide. If such reactions occur, stop treatment and consult your doctor.
If it becomes necessary to resume treatment with indapamide, it is recommended to protect sun-exposed areas or areas exposed to artificial UVA rays.

Children and adolescents
The safety and efficacy of this medicine in children and adolescents under 18 years of age have not been established, and therefore its use is not recommended.

Other medicines and Natrilix

1. What Natrilix 1.5 mg prolonged-release tablets are and what they are used for

Natrilix 1.5 mg prolonged-release tablets contain indapamide as the active substance.
This medicine is indicated for the reduction of high blood pressure (hypertension) in adults.
Indapamide is a diuretic. Most diuretics increase the amount of urine produced by the kidneys.
However, indapamide differs from other diuretics because it causes only a slight increase in the amount of urine produced.
In addition, indapamide dilates blood vessels, thereby facilitating blood flow. This helps reduce blood pressure.

2. What you need to know before taking Natrilix 1.5 mg prolonged-release tablets

Do not take Natrilix 1.5 mg prolonged-release tablets:

  • if you are allergic to indapamide or to any other sulfonamide, or to any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6),
  • if you have severe kidney disease,
  • if you have severe liver disease or suffer from a condition called hepatic encephalopathy (a degenerative brain disorder),
  • if you have low levels of potassium in your blood.

Warnings and precautions
Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking Natrilix 1.5 mg prolonged-release tablets:

  • if you have liver problems,
  • if you have diabetes,
  • if you suffer from gout,
  • if you have heart rhythm disorders or kidney problems,
  • if you experience blurred vision or eye pain. These may be symptoms of fluid accumulation in the vascular layer of the eye (choroidal effusion) or increased pressure inside the eye, which may occur within hours or weeks after taking Natrilix. This may lead to permanent vision loss if not treated. If you previously had an allergy to penicillin or sulfonamides, you may be at higher risk of developing such a reaction,
  • if you suffer from muscle disorders including muscle pain, tenderness, weakness, or cramps,
  • if you are scheduled for a test to assess parathyroid gland function. You must inform your doctor if you have ever had photosensitivity reactions. Your doctor may perform blood tests to check whether you have low levels of sodium or potassium, or high levels of calcium in your blood.

If you think you fall into any of the above categories, or have any questions or doubts about how to take this medicine, consult your doctor or pharmacist.
For those engaged in sports: using this medicine without therapeutic need constitutes doping and may result in a positive anti-doping test.
