Is Indapamide Advisable For Increased Blood Pressure?

I was on indapamide a while back, and drinking large quantities of water because I had repeated UTIs . My sodium level dropped and I had a seizure during which I broke my shoulder. Horrific injury. Now my gp wants me to go back on indapamide since my blood pressure is up. Do you think this is wise?

Hello.In your situation, if the intake of water will be over ,other drugs would be more advisable than indapamide-diuretics;for example calcium antagonists (amlodipine) or beta-blockers (bisoprolol).
I wish you good health.
