Description
About Ziscar 5mg Tablet
Ziscar 5mg Tablet contains Lisinopril 5mg, the standard starting dose of this ACE inhibitor (Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme inhibitor). It is prescribed for hypertension, heart failure, and diabetic nephropathy. Lisinopril inhibits the ACE enzyme, blocking angiotensin II production — the primary driver of vasoconstriction and aldosterone-mediated sodium retention. The net effect is arterial and venous dilation, reduced blood pressure, and decreased cardiac workload.
The 5mg starting dose allows titration upward (to 10mg or 20mg) while monitoring tolerability, making it the preferred initial choice for older patients and those with renal impairment. Regular use helps prevent stroke, heart attack, and progressive kidney disease. Available at derma.pk Anti-Hypertensive collection.
This is a prescription (Rx) medicine. Never stop abruptly — consult your physician before any dose change. Available with nationwide delivery in Pakistan including Lahore, Karachi, and Islamabad.
