Zestril 10Mg 28Tab

Zestril is a medication used to treat high blood pressure and heart failure. It belongs to the class of ACE inhibitors, which helps improve blood flow and reduce pressure on the heart. This medication is also used to protect the kidneys in diabetic patients.

Zestril (LISINOPRIL) works by inhibiting the angiotensin-converting enzyme, preventing the conversion of angiotensin 1 to angiotensin 2, a compound that causes blood vessel constriction. As a result, blood vessels dilate, leading to lower blood pressure. It also helps reduce the workload on the heart, improving its function in patients with heart failure. Additionally, it contributes to reducing the risk of cardiovascular problems.
