A member asked:
I have been given a script for indapamide can it be taken by a diabetic on metformin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Indapamide: This medication is a mild water pill that can be used for blood pressure control and/or swelling in your legs - and can be taken with metformin. I would recommend that you make sure your doctor checks your blood potassium and sodium as well as your kidney function tests. I am sure you get these checked regularly but make sure you talk with your provider about that.
