Lipril 10 mg Tablet

Lipril 10 mg Tablet is an oral tablet that contains lisinopril 10 mg in each tablet. Lisinopril belongs to the ACE inhibitor class, which is used to lower blood pressure and help treat certain heart and blood vessel conditions. Depending on your doctor’s plan, Lipril 10 mg Tablet may be used for hypertension, heart failure, or to improve survival after a heart attack. It is a prescription-strength tablet made for patients who need this exact 10 mg dose rather than a lower-strength tablet.

How it works: As a lisinopril tablet, Lipril 10 mg Tablet blocks an enzyme that helps make angiotensin II, a substance that tightens blood vessels. By relaxing blood vessels, this tablet can make it easier for the heart to pump blood and can reduce strain on the heart.

Lipril 10 mg Tablet is a higher strength than Lipril 2.5 mg Tablet and Lipril 5 mg Tablet, so it may be chosen when a doctor wants a stronger effect per tablet. It is not usually the first strength started in every patient, because many people begin on a lower dose and then move up if needed based on blood pressure, kidney function, and tolerance.

• High blood pressure
• Heart failure
• After a heart attack, when prescribed
• Reducing strain on the heart and blood vessels

• Swallow Lipril 10 mg Tablet whole with water; do not crush or chew unless your prescriber tells you otherwise.
• Take it at the same time each day if you are taking it regularly.
• Food does not usually prevent it from working, so it can be taken with or without meals.
• Stand up slowly, especially when starting Lipril 10 mg Tablet or after a dose increase, because it can cause dizziness.
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is close to the next dose; do not double up.

Each Lipril 10 mg Tablet provides 10 mg of lisinopril. The tablet may be taken once daily for many uses, but the exact schedule and maximum daily dose depend on the condition being treated and your response; your doctor decides the dose for you. Because this is the 10 mg strength, it is typically used when a patient needs more than the lower 2.5 mg or 5 mg tablets can provide.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
