Lorvas 2.5 mg Tablet

Lorvas 2.5 mg Tablet contains indapamide 2.5 mg in each tablet. It is a thiazide-like diuretic, also called a water pill, used to help lower high blood pressure. By helping the body remove extra salt and water, Lorvas 2.5 mg Tablet can reduce fluid buildup and lower the strain on the heart and blood vessels.

How it works: Indapamide in Lorvas 2.5 mg Tablet helps the kidneys remove more sodium and water into the urine. This lowers blood volume and helps relax blood vessels, which can reduce blood pressure over time.

Lorvas 2.5 mg Tablet is the exact 2.5 mg tablet strength, which is a higher-strength indapamide tablet than low-dose starts used for some patients. A doctor may choose Lorvas 2.5 mg Tablet when blood pressure needs more control or when a lower dose is not the right fit, and it is not meant to be self-started. Because it is a standard tablet, it is taken by mouth and works as the body absorbs it after swallowing.
