Therapeutic Class: ACE Inhibitor (Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitor)

Description

Lisinopril 10 mg is a prescription medication used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension), heart failure, and to improve survival after a heart attack. It helps relax blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily and reducing the workload on the heart.

Uses

• Hypertension (high blood pressure)
• Symptomatic heart failure
• Treatment after acute myocardial infarction (heart attack)
• Kidney protection in certain patients with diabetes and hypertension

How It Works

Lisinopril blocks the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), reducing the production of angiotensin II, a substance that narrows blood vessels. This leads to:

• Relaxation of blood vessels
• Lower blood pressure
• Improved blood flow
• Reduced strain on the heart

Dosage

• Typical starting dose for hypertension: 10 mg once daily.
• Can be taken with or without food.
• Take at the same time each day.
• Dosage may be adjusted according to blood pressure response and medical condition.

Common Side Effects

• Dry cough
• Dizziness
• Headache

• Increased potassium levels

Important Precautions

⚠️ Do not use during pregnancy.

• Kidney function and potassium levels may require monitoring.
• Inform your healthcare provider if you have kidney disease or are taking potassium supplements.
• Seek immediate medical attention if swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat (angioedema) occurs.
