Lisatestidel

Lisatestidel, also known as lisinopril, is a medication primarily used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and heart failure. It belongs to a class of drugs called angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. Lisinopril works by relaxing blood vessels, which helps to lower blood pressure and reduce the workload on the heart.

The drug is available in various forms, including tablets and oral solution. It is typically taken once daily, with or without food. Common side effects may include a persistent cough, dizziness, and a raised potassium level in the blood, which can lead to muscle weakness or paralysis. More serious side effects are rare but can include angioedema, a swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat.

Lisatestidel is generally well-tolerated, but it is important to follow the prescribed dosage and consult a healthcare provider before starting or stopping the medication. Patients should also be aware of potential drug interactions, as lisinopril can affect the levels of other medications in the body. Regular monitoring of blood pressure and kidney function is recommended to ensure the medication's effectiveness and safety.
