Buy Lisinopril online for effective high blood pressure treatment

Lisinopril is an ACE inhibitor, which means that it combats high blood pressure, but can also be used to control symptoms after heart failure. It is often prescribed after one has suffered a heart attack, and has been shown to increase survival rates.

Is Lisinopril a beta blocker?

No, Lisinopril being an ACE inhibitor is best used for people with diabetes, kidney problems or heart issues. Beta blocker medication such as propranolol, are often used for patients with high blood pressure that is associated with coronary artery disease or heart issues such as tachycardia. Ensure you talk to your doctor if you’re unsure which one is right for you.

Lisinopril tablets work by blocking the action of ACE (angiotensin-converting-enzyme). Usually ACE would produce a compound called angiotensin II as it tries to control the body’s blood pressure. This compound causes blood vessels to tighten, which increases blood pressure. By stopping angiotensin II from being produced, it allows the blood vessels to relax and widen which in turn results in a drop in blood pressure.

This lower blood pressure means that the heart doesn’t have to work as hard to force blood through the arteries, which is why this medication is used to improve the symptoms of heart failure and boost survival after a heart attack.

Lisinopril is proven to lower blood pressure and is approved for the treatment of hypertension.

It’s a convenient tablet to take to lower blood pressure, because you only need to take one each day. That means there’s no complicated dosage schedules you need to stick to.

Treating blood pressure via medication always works best when combined with simple changes to your current lifestyle. This includes undertaking a moderate amount of physical activity as well as eating a healthy, balanced diet. Always consult your GP before beginning an exercise program.

You should take one Lisinopril tablet each day with a full glass of water, the tablets can also be taken with or without food.

What if I miss a dose?

Take the missed dose as soon as you remember. It is advised that you skip the missed dose if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose. Don’t take extra medicine to make up for the missed dose.

Your doctor will prescribe you a 5mg, 10mg, 20mg or 40mg dose of Lisinopril if it’s safe for you to take. You may be started on a lower dosage to see how you react, which will be gradually increased depending on how tolerant you are to any possible side effects.
