Can I take Ezetimibe and Indapamide together?

Perché succede

Ezetimibe works in the digestive tract to reduce cholesterol absorption, while indapamide is a diuretic (water tablet) that works on the kidneys to lower blood pressure. They are processed by different pathways in the body and do not interfere with how the other is absorbed, broken down, or excreted.

You can continue to take both medications as prescribed by your doctor. As with any medication, if you notice any new or unusual symptoms, such as extreme muscle pain or severe dizziness, you should mention this to your healthcare provider during your next check-up.

Malattia del fegato

You must not take this medicine if you have moderate or severe liver disease. If you develop unexplained muscle pain, tenderness, or weakness while taking it, contact your doctor immediately, as this can rarely lead to serious muscle breakdown.

Sulphonamide allergy

Do not take this medicine if you are allergic to sulphonamide antibiotics (such as sulfamethoxazole), as you may have a similar allergic reaction to indapamide.

Low potassium (Hypokalaemia)

This medicine can significantly lower your blood potassium levels. Your doctor must monitor this, especially if you have heart rhythm problems, as low potassium increases the risk of dangerous heart arrhythmias.

Alcol

Drinking alcohol while taking indapamide can increase the blood pressure-lowering effect of the medicine. This may make you feel dizzy, lightheaded, or faint, especially when standing up quickly. It is best to keep your alcohol intake within recommended limits and see how the medicine affects you before drinking.
