Side-effects include giddiness, headaches, anorexia, gastric irritation, nausea, vomiting, constipation and diarrhoea. Indapamide given at 2,5 mg daily produces minimal diuresis. However, hyperuricaemia and hypokalaemia may occur and potassium supplementation may be required. Uric acid should be monitored, particularly in patients with a history of gout, who should continue to receive the appropriate treatment. However, the treatment should be discontinued if increasing azotemia or oliguria occur.
Treatment is supportive and symptomatic.
