Description of selected adverse reactions: During phase II and III studies comparing indapamide 1.5mg and 2.5mg, plasma potassium analysis showed a dose-dependent effect of indapamide: Indapamide 1.5mg: Plasma potassium <3.4 mmol/l was seen in 10% of patients and <3.2 mmol/l in 4% of patients after 4 to 6 weeks treatment. After 12 weeks treatment, the mean fall in plasma potassium was 0.23 mmol/l.
Indapamide 2.5 mg: Plasma potassium <3.4 mmol/l was seen in 25% of patients and <3.2 mmol/l in 10% of patients after 4 to 6 weeks of treatment. After 12 weeks treatment, the mean fall in plasma potassium was 0.41 mmol/l.
