What Is Lisinopril Used For?
Lisinopril blocks formation of angiotensin II, helping the blood vessels relax and the body retains less salt and water. Lisinopril is a type of ACE inhibitor medication and is prescribed for several conditions:
High Blood Pressure (Hypertension). Lisinopril is frequently prescribed for high blood pressure. Lisinopril is used alone and in combination with other medications such as hydrochlorothiazide (Prinzide, Zestoretic).Heart Failure. Lisinopril can reduce hospitalizations and mortality in heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction.
Diabetic Kidney Disease. Lisinopril can slow the progression of kidney disease in patients with diabetes or urine protein.
Lisinopril belongs to a class of medications known as an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACE inhibitors) - similar to benazepril (Lotensin), captopril (Capoten), enalapril (Vasotec), fosinopril (Monopril), quinapril (Accupril) and ramipril (Altace). Lisinopril is thought to lower blood pressure by suppressing the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system with minimal increase in the heart rate.
Lisinopril is sometimes utilized more than comparable medications as it has a longer half-life and is not broken down by the liver. The absorption of the medication is typically not affected by food intake. It should be used in conjunction with lifestyle changes like physical activity and adequate sleep.
