Summary
NSAIDs such as parecoxib can reduce the antihypertensive and diuretic effect of thiazide-type diuretics through sodium and water retention. Combined use also raises the risk of renal impairment, especially with volume depletion.
What this interaction means in plain words
Indapamide and Parecoxib can affect each other. The combination is often manageable, but it may need a change of dose, a change of timing, or extra checks while both are taken.
Why it happens
COX-2 inhibition reduces renal prostaglandins, causing sodium retention and reduced renal perfusion that oppose diuretic effect.
What to do
Use the lowest effective parecoxib dose for the shortest time, and monitor blood pressure, fluid status and renal function. Ensure adequate hydration.
