Natrixam 1.5mg/5mg Modified-Release Tablets

Natrixam 1.5mg/5mg Modified-Release Tablets Natrixam 1.5mg/5mg is a bilayered, modified-release tablet used as substitution therapy for the treatment of essential hypertension (high blood pressure). It is a fixed-dose combination medication intended for patients whose blood pressure is already controlled with Indapamide and Amlodipine taken as separate tablets at the same dose levels. How Natrixam 1.5mg/5mg Works Natrixam combines two powerful antihypertensive agents with different mechanisms of action:

Indapamide (1.5mg): A thiazide-like diuretic that helps your kidneys eliminate excess salt and water, reducing the volume of blood in your vessels. Amlodipine (5mg): A calcium channel blocker that relaxes and widens the blood vessels, making it easier for the heart to pump blood throughout the body.

The modified-release (MR) formulation ensures that the medication is released gradually over 24 hours, providing stable blood pressure control with a single daily dose. Natrixam Price in Nigeria One common question from customers is, "How much is Natrixam 1.5mg/5mg in Nigeria?" Due to the importation of this medication by Servier, the price can fluctuate based on currency exchange rates. In Nigeria, Natrixam is often sold by the blister strip (colloquially referred to as a "sachet"). While a full pack contains 30 tablets, you can purchase a single strip of 10 tablets at a more affordable entry point.

Standard Dosage: The usual dose is one tablet daily, preferably taken in the morning. Administration: Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. Do not crush, chew, or break the tablet, as this will destroy the modified-release mechanism. It is best to take your medication at the same time every day to maintain a consistent level in your bloodstream.
