Lapril 10 mg Tablet

Lapril 10 mg Tablet is a prescription medicine that contains lisinopril 10 mg in each tablet. Lisinopril belongs to a class of drugs called ACE inhibitors. It is used to treat high blood pressure, heart failure, and to improve survival after a heart attack in some patients. It may also be used to help protect kidney function in certain people with diabetes, if prescribed by a doctor.

How it works: Lisinopril blocks an enzyme that makes a substance causing blood vessels to tighten, so the vessels relax and blood can flow more easily. As a tablet, Lapril 10 mg Tablet is swallowed and absorbed through the digestive tract to provide whole-body blood pressure and heart benefits.

Lapril 10 mg Tablet is a standard tablet strength that is often used when a doctor wants a moderate lisinopril dose that fits typical treatment plans. Because there are no other Lapril strengths or forms in our range, this 10 mg tablet is the only Lapril option available here, and your prescriber will decide whether it is the right starting, adjusting, or maintenance dose for you.
