Reviewed By Bayyarapu Mahesh Kumar , M Pharmacy
Fanton 1.5mg Tablet SR is used for the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure). Additionally, it is used to reduce the risk of heart failure and oedema (a build-up of fluid in the body). It contains Indapamide, which works by inhibiting the reabsorption of sodium in the body, resulting in an increase in chloride, sodium, and water excretion through urine. The shift in electrolytes and sodium levels reduces vascular resistance and makes the heart work normally. The production of diuresis and removal of excessive salt and fluid helps to lower blood pressure. In some cases, it may cause side effects such as dehydration, dizziness, headache, fatigue, nausea, itching, and abdominal pain. Before taking this medicine, you should tell your doctor if you are allergic to any of its components or if you are pregnant/breastfeeding, and about all the medications you are taking and pre-existing medical conditions.

About Fanton 1.5mg Tablet SR

Fanton 1.5mg Tablet SR is used for the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure). Additionally, Fanton 1.5mg Tablet SR is used to reduce the risk of heart failure and oedema (a build-up of fluid in the body). A Thiazide diuretic prevents the body from absorbing excessive salt that may cause fluid retention. Hypertension is a medical condition in which the blood exerts high pressure against the walls of blood vessels.

Hypertension can put a person on severe health complications, including stroke, heart failure, heart attack, and aneurysm.

Fanton 1.5mg Tablet SR contains Indapamide, and it is only available on prescription. It works by inhibiting the reabsorption of sodium in the body, resulting in an increase in chloride, sodium, and water excretion through urine.

Medicinal Benefits

Fanton 1.5mg Tablet SR is prescribed for treating high blood pressure. Being a diuretic medication, Fanton 1.5mg Tablet SR enhances the excretion of sodium and water through urine by restricting sodium absorption in the nephron tubes. If high blood pressure is not controlled for a longer time, then arteries and the heart will not be able to function properly. This may further increase the chances of damage to brain blood vessels, resulting in heart attack and serious kidney failure. However, taking Fanton 1.5mg Tablet SR at the right time can control the blood pressure and make the heart function properly.
