Lisoril 10 Tablet

Lisoril 10 Tablet contains 10 mg of lisinopril in each tablet. Lisinopril is an ACE inhibitor used to treat high blood pressure, heart failure, and to help protect the heart after certain heart events. Lisoril 10 Tablet is a prescription blood pressure medicine that may also be used in some patients with diabetic kidney disease, depending on the doctor’s plan. This 10 mg tablet is a specific strength of lisinopril made by Ipca Laboratories, India.

How it works: Lisinopril in Lisoril 10 Tablet blocks a body enzyme called ACE, which reduces the amount of angiotensin II, a chemical that tightens blood vessels. This helps blood vessels relax and lowers blood pressure, making it easier for the heart to pump blood.

Lisoril 10 Tablet is a higher-strength option than Lisoril 5 Tablet, so it may be chosen when a lower dose is not enough or when a doctor is adjusting treatment. Because it has 10 mg of lisinopril per tablet, it is not the same as starting at a lower strength for every patient; the right dose depends on blood pressure, kidney function, and other medicines. Some people feel its blood-pressure-lowering effect more strongly if they are sensitive to ACE inhibitors or are taking other blood pressure drugs.

• High blood pressure
• Heart failure
• After a heart attack, in selected patients

• Take it at the same time each day if your doctor prescribes regular daily use.
• It can be taken with or without food.

• Stand up slowly, especially when first starting or after a dose increase, because dizziness can happen.

Each Lisoril 10 Tablet provides 10 mg of lisinopril per tablet. Depending on the condition being treated, it may be taken once daily, and the doctor may adjust the dose based on response and kidney function; there is no single maximum dose for every patient because the prescriber individualizes therapy. Always follow the exact dosing plan given for this 10 mg strength.

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