Hypernil 10 mg Tablet

Hypernil 10 mg Tablet contains lisinopril 10 mg in each tablet. It is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor used to help lower blood pressure and to treat certain heart-related conditions. By reducing strain on the heart and blood vessels, Hypernil 10 mg Tablet can help lower the risk of complications from uncontrolled hypertension when used as prescribed. It is a prescription medicine from Lupin, India, supplied as a strip/box of 10 tablets.

How it works: Lisinopril in Hypernil 10 mg Tablet blocks ACE, an enzyme that helps tighten blood vessels. When that enzyme is blocked, blood vessels relax and widen, which can lower blood pressure and reduce the heart’s workload.

Hypernil 10 mg Tablet is a higher-strength option than Hypernil 5 mg Tablet, so it is usually chosen after a doctor has assessed how much lisinopril a patient needs. Some people start at 5 mg, while others are prescribed Hypernil 10 mg Tablet if they need a stronger dose or a simple once-daily tablet regimen. Because it is a stronger tablet, it should be used only in the dose your clinician specifically recommends.

• High blood pressure (hypertension)
• Heart failure
• Improving survival after a heart attack in selected patients
• Kidney protection in some patients with diabetes or protein in the urine, when prescribed

• Swallow Hypernil 10 mg Tablet whole with water.
• Take it at the same time each day if your prescriber tells you to use it once daily.
• It can be taken with or without food.
• Do not crush or chew the tablet unless your pharmacist or doctor specifically says it is okay.
• Stand up slowly after taking it, especially when you first start, because dizziness can happen.

Each Hypernil 10 mg Tablet provides 10 mg of lisinopril. Depending on the condition being treated and how you respond, it may be taken once daily or, in some cases, divided into more than one dose per day; your doctor decides the exact schedule. Do not take more than the maximum daily amount prescribed for you, since the right dose depends on your blood pressure, kidney function, and other medicines.

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