Indapamide
It is a vasodilator & diuretic related to thiazides. It reduces BP at doses which cause little or no diuresis. Electrolyte disturbances and K+ loss are minimal with antihypertensive doses. It reduces total peripheral resistance while cardiac output remains unchanged. Indapamide acts probably by interfering with ionic fluxes, including that of Ca++ across vascular smooth muscle cells.Hypertension.
