Lisinopril is a medication from the class of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension), heart failure, and to improve survival after a heart attack. It is also used to protect the kidneys in patients with diabetes and diabetic nephropathy.
Lisinopril works by blocking the angiotensin-converting enzyme, which leads to the relaxation of blood vessels, lowering blood pressure, and reducing the workload on the heart. It is taken in tablet form, usually once daily, as directed by a doctor.
Side effects may include dizziness, dry cough, fatigue, headache, nausea, or, in rare cases, severe allergic reactions (angioedema). Patients should avoid dehydration and monitor their blood pressure during treatment. Lisinopril should not be used during pregnancy, as it may harm the fetus.
