Lisinopril
Description
Lisinopril is a highly effective medication used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and heart failure. It belongs to a class of drugs known as angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. Lisinopril works by relaxing blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily and reducing the workload on the heart. This, in turn, helps lower blood pressure and improve heart function. It is generally well-tolerated, but it‘s essential to consult with a healthcare professional before starting treatment.
