Zestril 5Mg 28Tab

Zestril is a medication used to treat high blood pressure and also to improve heart function in patients with heart failure. It belongs to the class of ACE inhibitors, making it effective in reducing blood pressure and decreasing the workload on the heart.

Zestril (LISINOPRIL) works by inhibiting the angiotensin-converting enzyme, leading to a reduction in the production of angiotensin II, a substance that causes blood vessel constriction. This inhibition helps to widen blood vessels, reducing blood pressure and increasing blood flow to vital organs. It also has benefits in reducing the risk of heart disease and strokes.
