Lisinopril

Lisinopril 5mg, 10mg and 20mg High Blood Pressure Tablets

Lisinopril refers to an antihypertensive medicine used for controlling high blood pressure of a patient. Lisinopril tablets belong to the group of medicines that compose dihydropyridine as an active ingredient which works by broadening and relaxing the vessels carrying blood conclusively allowing the blood to circulate more smoothly around the body.

High blood pressure is caused when blood exerts high pressure on blood vessels ultimately narrowing them which then exerts pressure on heart hindering its working and flow around the body.

Lisinoprill is the drug that moves into the blood making it thin and allowing it to move freely ultimately increasing the efficient pumping of heart. Furthermore, the medicine is used in patients who have suffered from heart attacks or heart failures. The medicines are also used for the prevention of eye and kidney issues in patients with diabetes. Lisinoprill is available in several potencies such as 5 mg 10mg and 20 mg, depending upon the proportions of active ingredients in them.
