CIPRIL 10 MG

Description

Lisinopril (cipril) is used for treating high blood pressure alone or with other medicines.

Active Ingredient: Lisinopril

Cipril 10 mg is a medication containing the active ingredient lisinopril. It belongs to a class of drugs known as angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. Cipril is primarily used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and heart failure. It may also be prescribed to improve survival after a heart attack and to protect the kidneys in people with diabetes.

Lisinopril works by inhibiting the action of ACE, an enzyme involved in the production of angiotensin II, a substance that narrows blood vessels and raises blood pressure. By blocking the effects of angiotensin II, lisinopril helps to relax blood vessels, lower blood pressure, and improve blood flow to the heart.

The 10 mg dosage of Cipril is typically prescribed for adults and is usually taken orally once daily. The dosage may be adjusted by your healthcare provider based on your blood pressure response and individual needs.

Common side effects of lisinopril may include dizziness, lightheadedness, headache, fatigue, cough, and gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea or diarrhea. In rare cases, lisinopril may cause more serious side effects, including allergic reactions, kidney problems, and low blood pressure.

It’s essential to take Cipril exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider and to attend regular follow-up appointments to monitor your blood pressure and kidney function. Do not stop taking Cipril without consulting your doctor, even if you feel well, as high blood pressure often has no symptoms but can be damaging if left untreated.

If you experience any concerning symptoms or adverse reactions while taking Cipril 10 mg, such as severe dizziness, swelling of the face or throat, difficulty breathing, or signs of kidney problems, seek medical attention immediately. Additionally, inform your healthcare provider about any other medications or supplements you are taking to avoid potential drug interactions.
