lisicard

Lisicard 5mg Tablet is primarily prescribed to treat high blood pressure (hypertension), heart failure, and to improve survival after a heart attack.

Lisinopril belongs to the class of medications called angiotens in converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors which acts by relaxing blood vessels, thereby lowering blood pressure and reducing the workload on the heart. It does this by inhibiting the action of ACE, an enzyme involved in the production of a substance that tightens blood vessels.

Following the prescribed dosage and advice from a healthcare professional is essential for effectively managing high blood pressure or other conditions with it. If you experience any adverse effects or have concerns, consult your healthcare provider promptly.
