Description

INTRODUCTION:

LORVAS SR 1.5MG contains Indapamide which belongs to a group of medicines called diuretics (water tablets). It works by causing the kidneys to get rid of unwanted water and salt from the body into the urine and thus helps in treating high blood pressure. LORVAS SR 1.5MG acts on the kidneys to boost the elimination of sodium, potassium and water in the urine thus resulting in increased urination. This reduces the fluid in blood vessels and body tissues and lowers blood pressure. Indapamide causes a slight increase in the amount of urine produced than the other diuretics.
