Everyone has blood pressure. This
pressure helps to circulate blood all
around the body. Your blood
pressure may be different at different
times of the day, depending on how
busy or stressed you are.
You have high blood pressure (also
known as hypertension) which is
when your blood pressure stays
higher than is needed, even when you
are calm and relaxed.
If high blood pressure is not treated it
can lead to serious health problems.
You may feel fine and have no
symptoms, but eventually it can
cause stroke, heart disease and
kidney failure.
NATRILIX helps to lower your
blood pressure.

OSE AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
ADULTS: One NATRILIX 2.5 mg tablet to be taken daily, by oral route,
in the morning. The action of NATRILIX
is progressive and whilst the optimum reduction in blood pressure is
usually seen after four weeks, a
further small but useful reduction in blood pressure may be observed
over the following four to six weeks.
A larger dose than one tablet (2.5 mg) of NATRILIX daily is not
recommended as there is little additional
antihypertensive effect, whilst the diuretic effect becomes more
pronounced.
A single daily tablet of NATRILIX may effectively be combined with the
following antihypertensive
medicines: beta-blockers, methyldopa sesquihydrate, clonidine,
prazosin, and ACE inhibitors.
Combination with a diuretic is not recommended as significant
electrolyte disturbances may occur.
Indapamide has a slight but significant carry-over hypotensive effect
lasting up to one or two weeks after
the treatment is stopped.
