Teva-Lisinopril (Type Z) 10 mg

Teva-Lisinopril (Type Z) 10 MG tablets are a commonly prescribed medication used to manage high blood pressure and heart-related conditions. This oral medication is manufactured by Teva Canada Limited and is available in various pack sizes.

Lisinopril is primarily used for the management of high blood pressure, also known as hypertension. It belongs to a class of medications called ACE inhibitors, which work by relaxing blood vessels to improve blood flow. Additionally, lisinopril may be prescribed for heart failure or to improve survival after a heart attack. The medication is often used as part of a broader treatment plan that includes lifestyle changes and other medications.

Common effects of lisinopril may include dizziness, cough, and fatigue. Some individuals may experience swelling of the face, lips, or tongue, which requires immediate medical attention. It is important to discuss any persistent or severe side effects with a healthcare provider.

Lisinopril should be used with caution in individuals with a history of kidney disease, liver disease, or diabetes. It is important to inform your healthcare provider about any allergies or other medications you are taking. Pregnant women should avoid lisinopril as it can cause harm to the developing fetus.

Lisinopril may interact with certain medications, including nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), diuretics, and potassium supplements. Alcohol consumption should be limited as it can enhance the blood pressure-lowering effects of lisinopril. Always consult a healthcare provider before starting or stopping any medication.
