Lozide Dosage

The recommended starting dose of Lozide (Indapamide) is 1.25 mg once daily in the morning. After 4 to 8 weeks, your doctor may increase this to 2.5 mg once daily, depending on the effect of the medication. If a dose of 2.5 mg daily does not reduce your blood pressure sufficiently, your doctor will likely add another blood-pressure-lowering medication that is not a diuretic or may try a different diuretic. Do not take more than 2.5 mg daily.

Many things can affect the dose of medication that a person needs, such as body weight, other medical conditions, and other medications. If your doctor has recommended a dose different from the ones listed here, do not change the way that you are taking the medication without consulting your doctor.

It is important to take Lozide (Indapamide) exactly as prescribed by your doctor. If you miss a dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule.
