Zestril 10mg, containing the active ingredient Lisinopril, is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor used primarily for the treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension) and heart failure. It helps to relax blood vessels, making it easier for the heart to pump blood.

Indications:

• Management of hypertension in adults and children aged 6 years and older.
• Treatment of heart failure in conjunction with other medications.
• Reduction of the risk of heart attack and stroke in patients with certain risk factors.

Dosage: The usual starting dose for adults is 10mg once daily, which may be adjusted based on the patient’s response and specific health conditions. Pediatric dosing is based on weight and determined by a healthcare provider.

Mechanism of Action: Lisinopril works by inhibiting the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II, a substance that narrows blood vessels. By reducing the levels of angiotensin II, Zestril promotes vasodilation (widening of blood vessels), which lowers blood pressure and decreases the workload on the heart.

Benefits:

• Effective in lowering blood pressure, thus reducing the risk of serious cardiovascular events.
• Helps improve symptoms and quality of life in heart failure patients.
• Convenient once-daily dosing.

Side Effects: Common side effects may include dizziness, headache, persistent cough, and gastrointestinal issues. Serious side effects, such as kidney problems, low blood pressure, or allergic reactions, are less common. Patients should contact their healthcare provider for a complete list of side effects.

Precautions:

• Use with caution in individuals with kidney disease, a history of angioedema, or those who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
• Regular monitoring of blood pressure and kidney function is advised during treatment.

Storage: Store at room temperature, away from moisture and heat. Keep out of reach of children.
