Description
Lipril-H 5 mg/12.5 mg Tablet is a prescription combination medication used for the treatment and management of high blood pressure (hypertension). It combines an ACE inhibitor and a diuretic (water tablet) to provide effective blood pressure control, improve blood circulation, and reduce the risk of cardiovascular complications such as heart attack, stroke, heart failure, and kidney damage. Lipril-H is commonly prescribed when blood pressure is not adequately controlled with a single medication.
Active Ingredients
- Lisinopril 5 mg
- Hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg
Lisinopril belongs to the Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme (ACE) Inhibitor class, while Hydrochlorothiazide is a Thiazide Diuretic.
How It Works
Lisinopril relaxes blood vessels by blocking the formation of angiotensin II, a substance that causes blood vessels to narrow.
Hydrochlorothiazide helps the body eliminate excess salt and water through urine, reducing fluid retention and lowering blood pressure.
Together, these medicines provide effective and long-lasting blood pressure control.
