Lisinopril

Used For

Hypertension

How it works

Lisinopril is a peptidyl dipeptidase inhibitor. It inhibits the angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) that catalyses the conversion of angiotensin I to the vasoconstrictor peptide, angiotensin II. Whilst mechanism through which lisinopril lowers blood pressure is believed to be primarily suppression of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. Lisinopril is antihypertensive even in patients with low-renin hypertension.

Corace Tablets Warnings

Warning 1

Occasionally, blood pressure drops too low after taking lisinopril. This usually happens after the first or second dose or when the dose is increased. It is more likely to occur in those who take diuretics, have a salt-restricted diet, are on dialysis, or are suffering from diarrhoea or vomiting. In patients at increased risk of symptomatic hypotension, initiation of therapy and dose adjustment should be closely monitored.

Warning 2

As with all vasodilators, lisinopril should be given with caution to patients with obstruction in the outflow tract of the left ventricle.

Warning 3

In patients undergoing major surgery or during anesthesia with agents that produce hypotension, lisinopril may blockangiotensin II formation secondary to compensatory renin release. If hypotension occurs and is considered to be due to this mechanism, it can be corrected by volume expansion.
