Lisinopril/hydrochlorothiazide is a combination medication used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). It combines lisinopril, an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, with hydrochlorothiazide, a diuretic. Lisinopril helps lower blood pressure by relaxing and widening blood vessels, making it easier for blood to flow. Hydrochlorothiazide reduces blood pressure by helping the kidneys remove excess fluid and salt from the body. Together, these medications effectively lower blood pressure, decreasing the risk of stroke, heart attack, and kidney problems associated with hypertension.
- Lisinopril/hydrochlorothiazide combines two medications into one pill to treat high blood pressure (hypertension).
- Lisinopril is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, relaxing and widening blood vessels to lower blood pressure.
- Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic (water pill) that helps remove excess salt and fluid through the kidneys, further lowering blood pressure.
- This combination is commonly prescribed when a single medication alone does not sufficiently control blood pressure.
- Lisinopril/hydrochlorothiazide is typically taken once daily, ideally at the same time each day for consistent blood pressure control.
