Product Introduction:
Lisinopril is a medication belonging to the class of drugs called angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. It was first introduced for medical use in the 1980s.
Uses:
Lisinopril is primarily used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure). It is also prescribed to improve survival after a heart attack and to manage heart failure.
Benefits:
- Effectively lowers blood pressure by relaxing blood vessels, making it easier for the heart to pump blood.
- Helps in preventing complications associated with hypertension, such as heart attacks, strokes, and kidney problems.
- Can improve survival rates and reduce the risk of future heart-related events in individuals who have had a heart attack or have heart failure.
Side Effects:
Common side effects of lisinopril may include:
- Dizziness
- Fatigue
- Headache
- Cough
- Nausea
- Rash
Serious side effects may include:
- Swelling of the face, lips, throat, or tongue (indicative of an allergic reaction)
- Severe dizziness or fainting
- Symptoms of high potassium levels (such as muscle weakness or irregular heartbeat)
- Kidney problems (symptoms may include decreased urination or swelling in the feet/ankles)
Safety Advice:
- Take lisinopril exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider.
- Do not abruptly stop taking lisinopril without consulting your doctor, as sudden discontinuation can lead to a rebound increase in blood pressure.
- Inform your doctor about any other medications, supplements, or herbal remedies you are taking, as they may interact with lisinopril.
- Avoid alcohol while taking lisinopril, as it can further lower blood pressure and increase the risk of side effects.
- Regularly monitor your blood pressure and kidney function while on lisinopril therapy.
- Report any signs of allergic reactions or severe side effects to your healthcare provider immediately.
Interaction with Drugs:
Lisinopril may interact with several drugs, including:
- Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen or naproxen, which can reduce the effectiveness of lisinopril and increase the risk of kidney damage.
- Potassium supplements or potassium-sparing diuretics, as they can increase potassium levels in the blood to dangerous levels when combined with lisinopril.
- Other antihypertensive medications, which can further lower blood pressure when taken with lisinopril.
