Lisinopril

Product Description

Lisinopril is used in various forms of arterial hypertension, including reninvascular heart failure (as part of complex therapy).Lisinopril is an ACE inhibitor that reduces the formation of angiotensin II from angiotensin I. Reducing angiotensin II it leads to a direct reduction in the release of aldosterone.Itreduces the degradation of Bradykinin and increases the synthesis of Pg.Itreduces OPSS, blood pressure, preload, pressure in the pulmonary capillaries, causes an increase in IOC and increased tolerance of the myocardium to the load in patients with CHF. It expands arteries more than veins.

Safety information

Mode of application

With arterial hypertension, the drug is prescribed in an initial dose of 10 mg once a day.If the hypotensive effect is insufficient, the dose of the drug is increased to 20-40 mg.In chronic heart failure, an initial dose of 2.5 mg;Maintenance dose - 5-20 mg.For patients with disturbed water-electrolyte metabolism, renal failure, renovascular hypertension, and also receiving diuretics, the initial dose of lisinopril is 2.5-5 mg.The medicine is taken once a day, regardless of food intake.
