Can I take Indapamide and Vitamin C together?

למה זה קורה

Indapamide is a diuretic (water tablet) used to lower blood pressure, while vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin. They are processed by the body through different pathways and do not interfere with each other's absorption, metabolism, or effectiveness.

You can continue to take both as prescribed or recommended. As with any supplement, it is best to stick to the recommended daily allowance of vitamin C unless your doctor has advised otherwise.

Sulphonamide allergy

Do not take indapamide if you have a known allergy to sulphonamide medicines (such as certain antibiotics), as you may have a similar allergic reaction to this medicine.

Low potassium (hypokalaemia)

Indapamide can significantly lower your blood potassium levels. You must have regular blood tests to monitor this, especially if you experience muscle weakness, cramps, or an irregular heartbeat.

Kidney stones (oxalate)

High doses of Vitamin C can increase the risk of developing kidney stones. Avoid supplements if you have a history of calcium oxalate stones or severe kidney disease.

חוסר ב-G6PD

If you have glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency, high doses of vitamin C can cause your red blood cells to break down (haemolysis).

המוכרומטוזיס

Vitamin C increases the absorption of iron from your food. If you have an iron-overload disorder like haemochromatosis, you should avoid high-dose supplements.

אלכוהול

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.

Salt (Sodium)

Eating a diet very high in salt can make indapamide less effective at lowering your blood pressure. Try to avoid adding extra salt to your food.
