Product Overview
About ZESTRIL
ZESTRIL is a prescription medication containing the active ingredient Lisinopril, a potent angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor. It is primarily used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and heart failure, while also reducing the risk of stroke and other cardiovascular events.
Key Benefits & Uses
- Treats high blood pressure (hypertension) and heart failure
- Reduces the risk of stroke and other cardiovascular events
- Helps to prevent the progression of kidney disease in patients with diabetes
Active Ingredient & Action
Lisinopril works by blocking the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II, a potent vasoconstrictor. This leads to vasodilation and a subsequent decrease in blood pressure. Additionally, Lisinopril reduces the levels of aldosterone, a hormone that promotes sodium retention and fluid buildup in the body.
Important Notes
ZESTRIL should only be used under the guidance of a qualified healthcare professional. It is essential to follow the prescribed dosage and usage instructions carefully. Inform your doctor about any pre-existing medical conditions, allergies, or medications you are currently taking before starting treatment with ZESTRIL. Common side effects may include dizziness, headache, and fatigue. If you experience any severe or persistent side effects, seek medical attention immediately.
