Abuta and Indapamide

Here is the interaction we found between these two, with the evidence behind it.

Moderate

DIURETIC DRUGS

Why this applies to Indapamide

Indapamide falls under DIURETIC DRUGS — the group Abuta interacts with.

Theoretically, taking abuta with diuretic drugs might cause additive effects and increase the risk of adverse effects.
Animal research shows that taking abuta causes diuretic effects, including potassium excretion.
Severity Moderate Likelihood Possible Evidence D

Interaction has been documented in animal or in lab research, or the interaction has been documented in humans but is limited to case reports or conflicting clinical research exists.

Dr. Brian Staiger, PharmD, BCPS
Dr. Brian Staiger explains PharmD, Clinical Pharmacist

Here's the gist with indapamide and abuta. Indapamide is a water pill that already makes your kidneys flush out extra salt and water, and it tends to lower potassium along the way. In animal studies, abuta seems to act as a mild diuretic too and can push potassium out. So the worry is that the two could stack up and push things a little too far.

If that happened, you might feel lightheaded or dizzy (especially standing up), get muscle cramps, or feel weak or tired from low potassium or being dehydrated. I'll be honest: this is mostly theoretical and based on lab and animal work, not solid human studies, so don't panic. Still, since both affect fluid and potassium, it's worth a quick chat with your pharmacist or doctor before combining them.

About Abuta

What is Abuta?

Abuta
  • Menstrual cramps and women's health
  • Kidney and urinary tract complaints
  • Digestive upset
  • Fever
  • Traditional support during pregnancy and childbirth

Abuta (Cissampelos pareira) is a tropical climbing plant used in traditional medicine, especially for menstrual and urinary complaints. Good-quality human studies are lacking, so its benefits and safety are not well established. Because of uncertain safety—and its traditional use to affect the uterus—it should be avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding and discussed with a pharmacist or doctor first.

About Indapamide

What Is Indapamide Used For?

Brand names: Lozol, Lozide

Indapamide tablets are used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension), either on their own or together with other blood pressure medications. Lowering blood pressure helps reduce the risk of related complications.

Indapamide tablets are also used to treat salt and fluid retention (edema) associated with congestive heart failure. In certain cases, indapamide may also be appropriate during pregnancy when swelling is caused by a medical condition rather than normal pregnancy changes — but routine use in otherwise healthy pregnant women is not recommended.
