Lizoril-5: an effective drug for the treatment of arterial hypertension

Lizoril-5, also known by its international name lisinopril, is an antihypertensive drug belonging to the group of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. It is widely used to treat hypertension and other cardiovascular diseases. Lizoril-5 is manufactured in India by Ipka Laboratories Ltd.

The main active ingredient in Lizoril-5 is lisinopril. This component blocks the action of angiotensin-converting enzyme, which is responsible for vasoconstriction. Thanks to this mechanism of action, the drug helps lower blood pressure and improve heart function.

Lizoril-5 is used to treat various conditions, including arterial hypertension in mono- or combination therapy, including renovascular hypertension. It may also be prescribed to patients who have had an acute myocardial infarction and are in stable condition to prevent the development of heart failure. Lizoril-5 is also effective in the treatment of heart failure, including cases when it develops after myocardial infarction, as well as in diabetic nephropathy.

Like any drug, Lizoril-5 has contraindications and possible side effects. The drug is not recommended for patients with hypersensitivity to lisinopril, as well as during pregnancy and lactation. You should also be careful when prescribing the drug to patients with anaphylactoid reactions, a history of angioedema, collagenosis, bone marrow depression, hypotension, impaired renal and liver function, stenosis of the cardiac arteries and other conditions.

Possible side effects when taking Lizoril-5 may include headache, dizziness, disturbances of consciousness, drowsiness, memory loss, arrhythmia, hypotension, visual disturbances, dry cough, diarrhea, hepatotoxicity and others. It is important to note that these side effects do not occur in all patients and require medical monitoring.

Before you start taking Lizoril-5, you should consult with your doctor, who will prescribe the correct dosage and tell you about the possible risks and benefits of this drug in your particular case. It is important to follow your doctor's instructions and not change the dosage yourself.
