Benefits of Zestoretic 20mg/12.5mg

• Contains lisinopril 20mg and hydrochlorothiazide 12.5mg.
• Helps reduce and manage high blood pressure.
• Lisinopril helps relax and widen blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily.
• Hydrochlorothiazide helps the body remove excess salt and water through urine.

Active Ingredients

Lisinopril 20mg

Lisinopril is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor. It helps relax and widen blood vessels, making it easier for blood to flow and helping to lower blood pressure.

Hydrochlorothiazide 12.5mg

Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic, commonly known as a water tablet. It helps lower blood pressure by increasing the amount of salt and water removed from the body through urine.

What Is Zestoretic Used For?

Zestoretic 20mg/12.5mg is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). Combining an ACE inhibitor with a diuretic can provide additional blood pressure-lowering effects when one medicine alone is not sufficient to control blood pressure.

How to Take Zestoretic

Take Zestoretic exactly as directed by your doctor. It is generally taken once daily and can be taken with or without food, as advised by your healthcare professional.

• Swallow the tablet with a glass of water.

Precautions

Before taking Zestoretic, inform your doctor if you have diabetes, low blood pressure, kidney problems, liver problems, or a history of allergic reactions to ACE inhibitors or diuretics.

Tell your doctor or pharmacist about all other medicines and supplements you take. This is important because some medicines may interact with Zestoretic. Use this medicine only as prescribed.
