lisinopril

Lisinopril is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor widely used in the treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension), congestive heart failure, and to improve survival after a heart attack. It works by relaxing blood vessels, which allows blood to flow more easily and the heart to pump more efficiently. Lisinopril is typically taken orally, once a day, and can be used alone or in combination with other medications to manage blood pressure effectively. It is known for its long-term benefits in reducing the risk of stroke and heart attack in patients with cardiovascular diseases. Patients are advised to regularly monitor their blood pressure and consult with their healthcare provider to adjust the dose as needed for optimal control.

Lisinopril is also beneficial in protecting kidney function in people with diabetes or mild to moderate kidney diseases. By reducing the pressure in the blood vessels and improving blood flow, it helps to prevent long-term kidney damage. Patients should inform their healthcare provider about any existing conditions or medications to avoid potential interactions and ensure safe use of Lisinopril.
