Zestril

Zestril is an Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Inhibitor drug known as Lisinopril. It may be sold generically as Lisinopril tablets or as Prinivil, another brand name. Zestril works by relaxing blood vessels, which lowers blood pressure and helps the heart to pump blood at an easier pace. Zestril is most commonly prescribed to treat high blood pressure, hypertension, complications of Diabetes, or to manage heart failure after a heart attack.

Zestril Side Effects And Precautions

Zestril should be prescribed by a doctor and taken according to the dosage requirements. It may be taken with or without food, but dosage should not be skipped, nor should you take more than the proper dosage at one time – even if you miss one. If you are taking certain medications or have a history of medical problems then Zestril may not be recommended in your therapy. In few cases, Zestril has been known to cause a condition known as Angioedema, that can be identified by a swelling of the face, tongue or hands. Zestril has been known to lower the ability of the body to fight infection, which leaves patients at risk of infection or other disease. Other conditions that may interact with the medicine include Diabetes, high blood pressure and pregnancy. Medications that may increase the chance of side effects or reduce the effectiveness of the product include Diuretics, Aldosterone blockers, Insulin and Sulfonylureas, any gold-containing medicines and NSAIDs.

Common side effects include cough, dizziness, headache or diarrhea. If the body has an allergic reaction the medication then symptoms will become more severe. These may involve a tightness in the chest, or an irregular heart beat, swelling of the face or hands, dark urine or decreased urination, difficulty in swallowing, fever,stomach pain or nausea, fainting, or a yellowing of the skin.

Erectile dysfunction is a low-reported problem but still a possibility when using Zestril. Zestril, or Lisinopril, is an Angiotensin Converting Enzyme drug, and thus erectile dysfunction is said to happen in less than 1% of patients.
