CVPRIL 5MG 1*10TAB

Lisinopril is a medicine that belongs to a group of drugs known as ACE (angiotensin-converting enzyme) inhibitors. It is most commonly used to treat high blood pressure, heart failure, and to improve survival after a heart attack. Lisinopril works by relaxing and widening blood vessels, which helps to lower blood pressure and makes it easier for the heart to pump blood. This can also help protect the kidneys, especially in people with diabetes.

The medication is usually taken by mouth in tablet form. It has a long duration of action, and it may take several weeks to see its full effects on blood pressure. Common side effects include headache, dizziness, feeling tired, cough, and nausea. Serious but less common effects include low blood pressure and swelling. It is important not to use lisinopril during pregnancy, as it can cause harm to the unborn baby.

Lisinopril has been widely prescribed and is available as a generic medication. People using it should have their kidney function and blood pressure monitored regularly. Always follow healthcare provider instructions when using this medication.
