Lisinopril

Lisinopril works to effectively lower blood pressure, in just a single daily dose. This can help to reduce the risk to patients if their blood pressure is dangerously high and they are at risk of a stroke or heart attack. In these cases Lisinopril is recommended alongside various lifestyle changes. Lisinopril has also been proven to be successful in treating patients with symptoms of heart failure.

When blood pressure is high it shows that the heart has to work harder to pump the blood around the body delivering essential nutrients to the vital organs. It does not have any symptoms until an associated health problem occurs. It is easily checked with a non-invasive cuff to measure the pressure that takes a minute or two. If readings are taken at different times of day and are shown to be consistently high, it's a warning sign that action needs to be taken to lower it.

The body has natural compounds that control blood pressure and one such compound is angiotensin II, which is produced as a result of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE). Angiotensin II causes blood vessels to constrict.

Lisinopril inhibits ACE so that it produces less angiotensin II. This reduces its narrowing effect on blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more freely within the vessels. Consequently this places less strain on the heart so that it doesn't have to work as hard. This is also why it's so effective at helping people with heart failure.

You can only buy Lisinopril tablets from euroClinix to help lower blood pressure. We also only provide our service to people over the age of 18. If you are already using it for another purpose, it's better to speak to your doctor about your prescription.

You should not buy Lisinopril tablets if you are pregnant. If you require treatment for high blood pressure during pregnancy it's best to see your doctor straight away for advice. If you have diabetes or kidney, liver, heart or connective tissue disease, you may have to either use a lowered dosage of this medication or be prescribed an alternative.

You should also make sure that you mention any medications you are using, whether it be prescription or over the counter, when you complete your online consultation as this may influence whether you can take this treatment safely.

Taking Lisinopril for the treatment of hypertension is very straightforward and a doctor will usually recommend that you take one 2.5mg, 5mg, 10mg or 20mg tablet with a full glass of water. Normally the starting dose for this treatment is 10mg, which can then be adjusted depending on your condition. Each tablet can be taken with or without food and many people choose to take their tablet just before bed, especially when first starting the treatment.

If you miss a dose take it as soon as you remember unless it is close to when the next dose is due. Never take two tablets at the same time.
