Lisoril 5 Tablet

Lisoril 5 Tablet is a prescription tablet that contains lisinopril 5 mg in each tablet. It belongs to the ACE inhibitor class and is used to help lower high blood pressure, support heart health, and treat certain patients with heart failure after a doctor’s assessment. By easing the workload on the heart and blood vessels, Lisoril 5 Tablet may also help reduce the risk of complications from uncontrolled blood pressure. It is manufactured by Ipca Laboratories, India and comes in a strip/box of 10 tablets.

How it works: Lisinopril in Lisoril 5 Tablet blocks an enzyme that normally tightens blood vessels, so the vessels relax and blood can flow more easily. Because this is an oral tablet, it delivers lisinopril into the body for steady daily blood pressure control when taken as prescribed.

Lisoril 5 Tablet is the lower-strength option compared with Lisoril 10 Tablet, so it is often chosen when a doctor wants a gentler starting or maintenance dose. This 5 mg tablet may be preferred for people who are new to lisinopril, older adults, or patients who need a smaller dose because of blood pressure response, kidney function, or side effect risk. The effect may build over regular use rather than feeling immediate, and the right strength depends on the person’s condition and monitoring results.

• High blood pressure
• Heart failure
• After-heart-attack care in selected patients
• Kidney protection in some patients with diabetes or protein in the urine

• Swallow Lisoril 5 Tablet whole with a glass of water; do not crush or chew it unless your doctor or pharmacist specifically tells you to.
• Take it at the same time each day to help you remember your dose and keep blood pressure control steady.
• It can be taken with or without food.
• If it upsets your stomach or makes you feel lightheaded, ask your doctor whether taking it at a different time of day would help.
• Stand up slowly after sitting or lying down, especially when starting treatment or after a dose change, because this tablet can lower blood pressure.

Each Lisoril 5 Tablet provides lisinopril 5 mg. Many patients take it once daily, but the exact schedule and whether a higher dose or a different strength is needed is decided by the prescriber based on blood pressure, kidney function, and response. Do not change the dose on your own, and do not exceed the daily amount your doctor prescribes.

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