Lisinopril 5mg + Hydrochlorothiazide 12.5mg Tablets

Product Introduction

Lisinopril 5mg + Hydrochlorothiazide 12.5mg combines lisinopril, an ACE inhibitor, with hydrochlorothiazide, a thiazide diuretic, for high blood pressure for combination therapy treatment. Lisinopril relaxes blood vessels and reduces angiotensin II/aldosterone effects, while hydrochlorothiazide helps the kidneys remove sodium and water to lower blood pressure. Lisinopril can raise potassium and cause dry cough or rare angioedema; hydrochlorothiazide can lower sodium or potassium, raise uric acid, worsen gout, raise glucose in some patients, and increase sun sensitivity.

How to use

Take Lisinopril 5mg + Hydrochlorothiazide 12.5mg as prescribed, often in the morning to reduce nighttime urination. Keep blood pressure, kidney-function, and electrolyte checks. Avoid potassium salt substitutes unless approved.

How it works

Lisinopril relaxes blood vessels by blocking ACE. Hydrochlorothiazide increases sodium and water loss in urine, reducing blood volume and pressure.

Common side effects

Possible effects include dizziness, dry cough, increased urination, headache, tiredness, electrolyte changes, raised uric acid, and sun sensitivity. Serious concerns include angioedema, severe dehydration, kidney injury, severe low sodium/potassium imbalance, gout flare, and pregnancy-related fetal harm.
