(Lisinopril)

The active ingredient in Zestril is lisinopril. Lisinopril works by dilating your blood vessels. This results in a decrease in your blood pressure and makes it easier for your heart to pump blood throughout your body. The effects of lisinopril result in lower blood pressure and less stress on your heart.

Follow all directions given to you by your doctor and read all documents provided, including the full Prescribing Information, FDA-Approved Product Labeling, Instructions for Use, and Medication Guide, before using Zestril. However, the following is a synopsis of the general guidelines for the use of Zestril:

• Swallow the oral tablet with a drink of water. It is best to take it at the same time every day.
• You can take Zestril with or without food.
• The recommended starting dose of Zestril will depend on why you are taking it. For hypertension, the recommended starting dose is 10 mg once daily.
• Do not stop taking Zestril even if you are feeling better unless your healthcare provider tells you to.
• If you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule.

The most common side effects of Zestril include:

• Lightheadedness.
• Low blood pressure.
