Angiotensin 10 mg Tablet

Angiotensin 10 mg Tablet contains lisinopril 10 mg in each tablet. Lisinopril is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor used to help lower high blood pressure and to treat certain heart-related conditions. It may also be prescribed after a heart attack or in people with heart failure to reduce strain on the heart. This product is the 10 mg tablet from Healing Pharma India Pvt. Ltd., supplied in a strip/box of 10 tablets.

How it works: Lisinopril in Angiotensin 10 mg Tablet blocks an enzyme that normally narrows blood vessels, so the vessels relax and widen. With less resistance in the blood vessels, the heart does not have to work as hard, and blood pressure can come down.

Angiotensin 10 mg Tablet is a mid-range strength that is often chosen when a lower dose such as Angiotensin 2.5 mg Tablet or Angiotensin 5 mg Tablet is not enough, but the prescriber does not yet need the higher Angiotensin 20 mg Tablet. Because it is a stronger tablet than the lower options, it is usually suitable only for patients whose blood pressure and overall health have already been assessed by a doctor. The effect is not felt as a quick “rush”; it works gradually over time to help control blood pressure and reduce cardiovascular strain.

• High blood pressure (hypertension)
• Heart failure
• After a heart attack in selected patients
• Kidney protection in some patients with diabetes or protein in the urine
• Reducing cardiovascular strain as prescribed by a doctor

• Swallow Angiotensin 10 mg Tablet whole with a glass of water; do not crush or chew it unless your prescriber instructs otherwise.
• Take it at the same time each day to help you remember your dose.
• It can be taken with or without food.
• Stand up slowly after taking it, especially when you first start, because it may lower blood pressure.
• If you miss a dose, take it when you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose; do not double up.
• Keep taking it even if you feel well, because high blood pressure often has no symptoms.

Each Angiotensin 10 mg Tablet provides 10 mg of lisinopril per tablet. Many patients take it once daily, but the exact schedule and the maximum daily dose depend on the condition being treated, kidney function, and how you respond to therapy. Your doctor decides whether Angiotensin 10 mg Tablet is the right starting point, a step-up from a lower strength, or part of a maintenance plan.

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

Common side effects of Lisinopril may include:

• Dry cough
• Dizziness or lightheadedness, especially when standing up
• Headache
• Fatigue
• Nausea
• Low blood pressure, which may be more noticeable with the 10 mg strength in sensitive patients

• Do not use during pregnancy; lisinopril can harm an unborn baby.
• Be careful if you have kidney disease, dehydration, vomiting, or diarrhea, because this tablet can lower blood pressure too much or affect kidney function.
• Tell your doctor if you have a history of angioedema or swelling from an ACE inhibitor.
• Use caution with alcohol, which can worsen dizziness and low blood pressure.
• If you are taking diuretics, you may be more likely to feel lightheaded when starting Angiotensin 10 mg Tablet.
• Avoid salt substitutes or potassium supplements unless your doctor says they are safe.
