Description
About Ziscar 20mg Tablet
Ziscar 20mg Tablet contains Lisinopril 20mg, a higher-strength ACE inhibitor prescribed when lower doses are insufficient to achieve target blood pressure. Lisinopril inhibits the angiotensin-converting enzyme, preventing production of angiotensin II — a hormone that constricts blood vessels and elevates blood pressure. The result is vasodilation, decreased peripheral resistance, and improved cardiac output.
Ziscar 20mg is indicated for hypertension, chronic heart failure, and adjunct therapy following acute myocardial infarction. By reducing cardiac afterload and preload, it significantly improves exercise tolerance and quality of life in heart-failure patients. It also provides renal protection in diabetic nephropathy by reducing intraglomerular pressure. Available at derma.pk Anti-Hypertensive collection.
This is a prescription (Rx) medicine. Take consistently at the same time daily. Combined lifestyle modifications — low-salt diet, regular physical activity, smoking cessation — optimise outcomes. Available with nationwide delivery across Pakistan.
