Indapamide (Fludex) administered in daily doses of 2.5 mg resulted in optimal improvement of the blood pressure in patients with mild or moderate hypertension. During the period of 6 months treatment that was tolerated well by the patients, no influence of indapamide on the levels of glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides, and creatinine in blood was observed. A mild decrease of serum potassium in blood was clinically not relevant. Using echocardiography and electrocardiography a regression of the hypertrophy of the left ventricle of the heart was observed.
