Fenugreek and Indapamide

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

Minor

Antihypertensive Drugs

Why this applies to Indapamide

Indapamide falls under Antihypertensive Drugs — the group Fenugreek interacts with.

Fenugreek may also have an additive effect on blood pressure-lowering medications. Studies on animals have shown that fenugreek seed can decrease both systolic and diastolic blood pressure by up to 22% when combined with metoprolol. Therefore, it is essential to monitor your blood pressure regularly if you are taking fenugreek and metoprolol together or any other antihypertensive drugs.
Severity Minor Likelihood Possible Evidence C

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 simple version: indapamide is a water pill that lowers your blood pressure, and fenugreek may nudge your blood pressure down a little too. Put them together and those effects can add up. This isn't about fenugreek changing how your body breaks the drug down, it's just two things pulling in the same direction.

If your pressure dips too low, you might feel lightheaded, dizzy, or a bit washed out, especially when you stand up quickly. I'll be honest, the evidence here is on the weak side (mostly animal data), and a sprinkle of fenugreek in cooking is unlikely to matter. Concentrated supplement doses are where I'd pay attention. If you want to use it, just check with your doctor or pharmacist and keep an eye on your readings at home.

From our pharmacist’s overview on the Indapamide page

“A water pill like indapamide (Lozol) lowers blood pressure and pulls potassium down, and most of the 215 supplements and herbs on file press on those same levers. Thirteen entries rate major, so this is a list to read with real care rather than skim.”

About Fenugreek

What is Fenugreek?

Fenugreek
  • Blood sugar control
  • Boosting breast milk supply
  • High cholesterol
  • Digestive upset
  • Low testosterone or libido

Fenugreek is a common kitchen spice that is also taken as a supplement, mainly for blood sugar, cholesterol, and to support breast milk production. Some early research is encouraging for blood sugar, but overall the evidence is mixed and far from settled. It is generally well tolerated as food, but talk with your pharmacist or doctor before using it as a supplement, especially if you are pregnant.

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.
