¿Puedo tomar Indapamida y Vitamina C juntos?

Por qué sucede esto

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.

Alergia a las sulfonamidas

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.

Bajo potasio (hipopotasemia)

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.

Cálculos renales (oxalato)

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.

Deficiencia de G6PD

Si tienes deficiencia de glucosa-6-fosfato deshidrogenasa (G6PD), dosis altas de vitamina C pueden causar la destrucción de tus glóbulos rojos (hemólisis).

Hemocromatosis

La vitamina C aumenta la absorción de hierro de tus alimentos. Si tienes un trastorno de sobrecarga de hierro como la hemocromatosis, debes evitar los suplementos en dosis altas.

Alcohol

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.

Sal (Sodio)

Consumir una dieta muy alta en sal puede hacer que la indapamida sea menos efectiva para reducir su presión arterial. Trate de evitar agregar sal extra a su comida.
