Zestril 5mg Tablets (lisinopril) for Hypertension
Description
Zestril 5mg Tablets (Lisinopril) for Hypertension
Zestril 5mg Tablets contain lisinopril, an ACE (angiotensin-converting enzyme) inhibitor by ICI Pharma. The 5mg strength is a commonly used starting dose for adults beginning treatment for high blood pressure (hypertension), and for elderly patients or patients with mild heart failure where a low starting dose is preferred.
Lisinopril relaxes blood vessels by blocking the formation of angiotensin II — a hormone that narrows blood vessels and raises blood pressure. By doing so, Zestril 5mg lowers blood pressure gradually, eases the heart's workload and supports better blood flow to vital organs, helping reduce the long-term risk of stroke, heart attack and kidney damage from uncontrolled hypertension.
Zestril 5mg is a prescription antihypertensive usually taken once daily. Do not stop the medicine abruptly, as untreated high blood pressure can damage the heart, brain and kidneys. Lisinopril is contraindicated in pregnancy and breastfeeding — tell your doctor immediately if you become pregnant. Common side effects include dry persistent cough, mild dizziness and headache. Rarely, angioedema (swelling of the face, lips or tongue) can occur — seek urgent medical care if it does.

How To Use
How to Use Zestril 5mg
Take Zestril 5mg once daily at the same time each day, with or without food, exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Swallow the tablet whole with water. The first dose may cause mild dizziness, so it is often advised to take it at bedtime. Do not stop the medicine suddenly — this can cause a rebound rise in blood pressure. Lisinopril is contraindicated in pregnancy and breastfeeding. Tell your doctor about other medicines you take (especially diuretics, potassium supplements, NSAIDs and lithium) and any history of angioedema, kidney disease or low BP.
