Natrilam 1.5 mg/5 mg Tablet 10's belongs to the class of medication called 'anti-hypertensive drugs', primarily used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure). Hypertension is a medical condition in which the blood exerts high pressure (force exerted by circulating blood) against the blood vessel's walls. This condition makes the heart work harder in pumping blood to the whole body. Hypertension can cause severe health complications, including stroke, heart failure, heart attack and kidney failure.

Natrilam 1.5 mg/5 mg Tablet 10's consists of Amlodipine and Indapamide.  Amlodipine relaxes blood vessels so that blood passes through them easily, thereby lowering blood pressure. Indapamide inhibits excess salt absorption in the body, resulting in increased chloride, sodium, and water excretion through urine. This diuresis process (increased urine production) and excess salts and fluid removal help lower blood pressure.

However, if you notice any side effects that are not manageable, it is advised to consult your doctor.
