Lisinopril is a drug used to treat high blood pressure and heart disease. It belongs to a class of drugs called ACE inhibitors, which help dilate blood vessels, lower blood pressure and ease the load on the heart. It is usually taken by mouth once daily, alone or in combination with other medications. Follow your physician's advice when using it and do not stop the medication on your own. Common side effects include headache, cough, dizziness and fatigue, but are well tolerated by most people. If you experience serious side effects such as swelling, difficulty breathing, or allergic reaction, seek medical attention immediately. Pregnant women should avoid using this medicine. While using Lisinopril, blood pressure and kidney function should be checked regularly. If you have any questions or discomfort, you should consult your doctor immediately.
Instructions for use: This medicine is usually taken orally once daily. It is recommended to take it in the morning or evening, with a meal or on an empty stomach. During the period of taking it, you should avoid eating foods that are overly salty or high in sodium, and maintain an appropriate amount of fluids. Avoid drinking too much alcohol to avoid increasing the side effects of the medication.
Dosage Guidelines: For patients with hypertension, the starting dose is usually 10 mg daily. If adjustment is needed, the physician may gradually increase the dose to a maximum of 40 mg daily. For patients with heart failure, the starting dose is lower, about 2.5 to 5 mg per day, and the physician will adjust it according to the patient's condition. For pediatric patients, the dosage will be determined based on weight and condition, please ask your physician for guidance. Remember, do not adjust the dosage on your own and take the medication strictly as directed by your doctor.
Lisinopril is a commonly used blood pressure lowering drug, but it has some side effects that need to be noted. Some patients may experience dizziness, vomiting, nausea and dry mouth after taking it. Some people may experience skin sensitivity, muscle pain, headaches and other discomforts. In addition, it may also affect kidney function and reduce urine output. If you notice serious side effects, such as difficulty breathing, severe dizziness, or swelling, seek medical advice immediately. Before seeing a doctor, remember to explain your medical history and medications to the doctor.
