Mechanism of action

LIZINOPRIL - an ACE inhibitor. Violates the formation of angiotensin II and reduces its vasoconstrictor action, as well as its stimulating effect on the production of aldosterone in the adrenal glands. Against the background of the action of lisinopril, OPSD is reduced, the afterload is reduced, and BP is reduced. Preload also decreases, pressure in the pulmonary circulation decreases.

Indications and usage

Arterial hypertension (including renovascular); chronic heart failure (as part of combination therapy).

Contraindications

Severe renal dysfunction, bilateral renal artery stenosis or arterial stenosis of a single kidney with progressive azotemia, condition after kidney transplantation, azotemia, hyperkalemia, primary hyper aldosteronism, stenosis of the aortic orifice and similar obstructions to blood flow, hereditary Quincke edema; pregnancy, lactation, childhood, hypersensitivity to lisinopril and other ACE inhibitors.

Dosage and administration

In hypertension, the initial dose is 10 mg 1 time / day. With insufficient severity of the hypotensive effect, the dose is increased to 20-40 mg (rarely to 80 mg).
