Product Details

Ziscar 5 mg tablets are formulated with Lisinopril, an effective medication for managing high blood pressure (hypertension). Lisinopril is a peptidyl dipeptidase inhibitor that works by blocking the enzyme responsible for converting angiotensin I to angiotensin II, a substance that constricts blood vessels. This mechanism helps to relax and widen blood vessels, thereby reducing blood pressure. The effects of Ziscar 5mg are generally seen within an hour and can last for 24 hours, providing sustained hypertension management.

Purposes

The primary uses of Ziscar include treating hypertension and heart failure. It is also used for patients recovering from an acute myocardial infarction and those with renal complications due to diabetes. By controlling blood pressure and improving heart function, it helps to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events and manage symptoms associated with heart failure.

Warnings

When using this, be aware of potential low blood pressure, particularly after the initial dose or when the dose is increased. This is more likely if you are also taking diuretics, have a restricted salt intake, or are undergoing dialysis. Additionally, it should be administered with caution to individuals with left ventricular outflow tract obstruction and during major surgery or anesthesia, as it may interfere with blood pressure regulation.

Adverse Effects

Ziscar 5 mg may cause common side effects such as dizziness, headache, cough, and gastrointestinal issues like diarrhea and nausea. Rare but serious effects include angioedema, characterized by swelling of the face or throat, and severe allergic reactions. Long-term use may also lead to increased potassium levels, renal function alterations, and, in very rare cases, conditions such as bone marrow depression or severe skin reactions.

Cautions

Before starting this, inform your healthcare provider if you have a history of hypersensitivity to ACE inhibitors or angioedema. This medication should be avoided during pregnancy and should be used cautiously in patients with pre-existing kidney conditions or undergoing significant medical procedures. Regular monitoring of blood pressure, kidney function, and potassium levels is recommended to ensure safe and effective treatment.
