About LISINOPRIL(5MG) + AMLODIPINE(5MG)
Introduction
This medicine is a combination of two active ingredients: Lisinopril (5mg) and Amlodipine (5mg). Lisinopril belongs to a group of medicines called ACE inhibitors, while Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker. Together, they work to effectively control high blood pressure when a single medicine is not sufficient.
Uses
This combination medicine is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) in adults. It is prescribed when blood pressure is not adequately controlled by either Lisinopril or Amlodipine alone. Controlling high blood pressure helps prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems.
Benefits
The combination provides better blood pressure control than either medicine alone. By using two different mechanisms, it effectively lowers blood pressure and reduces strain on your heart. This helps protect your heart, kidneys, and blood vessels from long-term damage. The once-daily dosing makes it convenient to take regularly, improving treatment adherence.
Side effects
Common side effects include headache, dizziness, tiredness, swelling in ankles or feet, flushing, dry cough, and nausea. Most side effects are mild and temporary, disappearing as your body adjusts to the medicine. If you experience persistent cough, severe dizziness, fainting, irregular heartbeat, or swelling of face/lips/tongue, contact your doctor promptly.
How to use
Take this medicine exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Swallow the tablet whole with water, preferably at the same time each day. It can be taken with or without food. Do not stop taking it suddenly without consulting your doctor, even if you feel well. Follow your doctor's instructions carefully regarding dosage and duration.
How it works
Lisinopril works by blocking the action of a substance in the body that causes blood vessels to tighten, helping them relax and widen. Amlodipine works by relaxing and widening blood vessels by blocking calcium from entering certain cells. Together, they reduce the pressure in blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily and reducing the workload on your heart.
Safety advice
Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding. Avoid alcohol as it may increase dizziness and lower blood pressure further. Be cautious while driving or operating machinery until you know how this medicine affects you. Tell your doctor about any kidney or liver problems. Inform your doctor about all other medicines you take, especially potassium supplements, diuretics, or other blood pressure medications. Monitor your blood pressure regularly.
