Cipril 2.5 mg Tablet

Cipril 2.5 mg Tablet contains 2.5 mg of lisinopril in each tablet. Lisinopril is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor used to help treat high blood pressure and, in some patients, heart failure and other heart-related conditions. By helping relax blood vessels, Cipril 2.5 mg Tablet can make it easier for the heart to pump blood and may lower blood pressure over time. It is a prescription tablet from Cipla, India, supplied in a strip/box of 10 tablets.

How it works: Lisinopril blocks an enzyme that normally tightens blood vessels, so the vessels stay more relaxed and open. In tablet form, Cipril 2.5 mg Tablet is swallowed and then absorbed into the body to provide this blood-pressure-lowering effect.

Cipril 2.5 mg Tablet is a low-strength lisinopril option compared with Cipril 5 mg Tablet and Cipril 10 mg Tablet. Doctors may choose this strength for people who need a gentler start, are sensitive to blood-pressure drops, or need careful dose adjustment because of age, kidney function, or other medicines. The lower dose may feel less intense at first, but it still requires the same prescription-level monitoring as other lisinopril tablets.
