LISINOGLEN 10 Tablets

What is LISINOGLEN 10

LISINOGLEN 10 is an oral tablet formulation containing Lisinopril, which belongs to a class of drugs known as Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. It is widely used in the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure), heart failure, and as part of the therapeutic regimen for patients recovering from a myocardial infarction (heart attack). It also plays a protective role in managing certain kidney conditions, especially in patients with diabetes and proteinuria.

• Generic Name: Lisinopril
• Therapeutic Class: ACE Inhibitor
• Tablet Strength: 10 mg per tablet
• Primary Uses: Hypertension, heart failure, post-MI care, and renal protection

By lowering blood pressure and easing the workload on the heart, LISINOGLEN 10 helps reduce the risk of strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems in at-risk populations.

How to use LISINOGLEN 10

Follow your healthcare provider’s prescription when taking LISINOGLEN 10. It is usually taken once daily, with or without food.

• Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water
• Try to take it at the same time each day to maintain consistent drug levels
• Do not stop taking the medication suddenly without consulting your doctor
• Monitor your blood pressure regularly while on treatment

In case of a missed dose, take it as soon as you remember, unless it’s close to the time of your next dose. Do not double up to make up for a missed tablet.

Mode of Action LISINOGLEN 10

Lisinopril, the active ingredient in LISINOGLEN 10, works by inhibiting the action of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), a key enzyme in the renin-angiotensin system that regulates blood pressure and fluid balance.

• Prevents conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II — a potent vasoconstrictor
• Promotes vasodilation, leading to reduced blood pressure
• Decreases secretion of aldosterone, minimizing water and salt retention
• Reduces strain on the heart and improves oxygen delivery

These effects make LISINOGLEN 10 particularly useful in treating cardiovascular and renal conditions.

LISINOGLEN 10 Interactions LISINOGLEN 10

Certain medications may interact with LISINOGLEN 10, potentially affecting its efficacy or increasing side effect risks:

• Diuretics (e.g., furosemide): May amplify the blood pressure-lowering effect
• Potassium supplements or potassium-sparing diuretics (e.g., spironolactone): May cause hyperkalemia
• NSAIDs (e.g., ibuprofen): May reduce antihypertensive effectiveness and harm kidney function
• Lithium: Risk of lithium toxicity when used together
• Other antihypertensives: Additive effects leading to hypotension

Always inform your doctor about all medications and supplements you are using before starting LISINOGLEN 10.

Dosage of LISINOGLEN 10

Typical dosage may vary based on individual conditions and response:

• Hypertension: Usual maintenance dose is 10–20 mg once daily
• Heart failure: Start with 2.5–5 mg daily, then titrate upward as needed
• After a heart attack: Often initiated at 5 mg and increased gradually
• Renal impairment or elderly patients: Start with a lower dose (e.g., 2.5–5 mg) and monitor kidney function closely

Dosage adjustments should only be made under medical supervision.

Possible side effects of LISINOGLEN 10

Most patients tolerate Lisinopril well, but some may experience side effects:

• Common: Cough, dizziness, headache, fatigue
• Less common: Rash, nausea, diarrhea
• Serious but rare: Angioedema (swelling of the face/lips/tongue), hyperkalemia, kidney dysfunction

Seek immediate medical attention if signs of an allergic reaction or swelling appear.
