GenLabs Angiotensin (Lisinopril) 20mg

GenLabs Angiotensin 20mg contains Lisinopril 20mg, a prescription medication belonging to a class of medicines known as angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. It is primarily used to manage high blood pressure (hypertension) and certain cardiovascular conditions.

By helping blood vessels relax and widen, Lisinopril improves blood flow and reduces the amount of work required by the heart. It may also be prescribed as part of the treatment of heart failure and following certain heart attacks.

HOW DOES LISINOPRIL WORK?

Lisinopril blocks angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), reducing the body’s production of angiotensin II—a substance that causes blood vessels to tighten.

Reducing angiotensin II allows blood vessels to relax and widen. This can lower blood pressure, improve circulation, and decrease strain on the heart.

DOSAGE

Lisinopril 20mg is taken orally, generally once daily when prescribed at this strength. However, the appropriate dosage depends on the condition being treated, blood pressure response, kidney function, other medications, and individual health factors.

Lisinopril may be taken with or without food. Take it exactly as prescribed by your healthcare professional and do not change your dosage without medical guidance.

Blood pressure, kidney function, and potassium levels may require monitoring during treatment.
