Description

Lisinopril, commonly marketed under the brand name Prinivil, is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor medication used primarily to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) and heart failure. Each package contains 30 tablets of lisinopril.

Key Features:

Blood pressure control: Lisinopril helps to lower blood pressure by inhibiting the action of angiotensin-converting enzyme, which normally causes blood vessels to narrow. This widening of blood vessels reduces blood pressure.
Heart failure management: In addition to its antihypertensive effects, Prinivil is also used to improve survival rates and reduce symptoms in individuals with heart failure.
Kidney protection: Lisinopril may also provide kidney protection in individuals with diabetes or other conditions that increase the risk of kidney damage.

Usage Instructions:

The dosage of Lisinopril varies depending on the condition being treated, its severity, and individual patient response. It is crucial to follow the dosage instructions provided by your healthcare provider.
For hypertension, the typical starting dose for adults is 10mg orally once daily, with adjustments made based on blood pressure response.
For heart failure, the dosage may be lower initially, starting with 2.5mg to 5mg orally once daily, with gradual titration to achieve optimal dose.
Lisinopril tablets should be swallowed whole with a glass of water, with or without food.

Precautions:

Inform your healthcare provider about any pre-existing medical conditions or ongoing medications before starting Lisinopril.
Use caution if you have a history of certain kidney conditions, as Lisinopril may further impair kidney function, particularly in individuals with bilateral renal artery stenosis.
Lisinopril may cause fetal harm if used during pregnancy. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or planning to become pregnant.

Side Effects: While Lisinopril is generally well-tolerated, some individuals may experience the following side effects:

Dizziness
Cough
Fatigue
Headache
Nausea
Hypotension (low blood pressure)
Hyperkalemia (high potassium levels)

If any of these side effects persist or worsen, inform your healthcare provider promptly. Additionally, seek immediate medical attention if you experience signs of a severe allergic reaction such as rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, or trouble breathing.
