Overview
Lisinopril Stada 20mg Tablet contains lisinopril 20mg, an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension), heart failure, and to improve survival after a heart attack. It may also be used to help protect kidney function in some patients with diabetes.
Lisinopril works by blocking the ACE enzyme, which normally converts angiotensin I into angiotensin II, a hormone that narrows blood vessels and raises blood pressure. By reducing angiotensin II production, lisinopril allows blood vessels to relax and widen, lowering blood pressure and easing the heart’s workload.
How it Works
Lisinopril inhibits the ACE enzyme, reducing the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II. This lowers blood vessel constriction and reduces aldosterone-driven sodium and water retention, relaxing blood vessels, lowering blood pressure, and reducing strain on the heart.
Directions for Use
Take Lisinopril Stada 20mg Tablet at about the same time every day, with or without food. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. Do not stop taking this medicine suddenly without consulting your doctor, even if you feel well, as blood pressure and heart failure control needs to be continuous.
Dosage
The usual starting dose of Lisinopril Stada 20mg Tablet for hypertension is 10mg once daily, which your doctor may adjust up to 20-40mg daily depending on your blood pressure response; different starting doses and titration schedules apply for heart failure and post-heart-attack use. Always take exactly as prescribed by your doctor.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Lisinopril Stada 20mg Tablet used for?
Lisinopril Stada 20mg Tablet is used to treat high blood pressure, heart failure, and to improve survival after a heart attack. Your doctor will confirm the specific reason it has been prescribed for you.
Why does lisinopril sometimes cause a dry cough?
ACE inhibitors like lisinopril can cause a persistent dry cough in some people due to their effect on certain inflammatory substances in the airways. If this becomes bothersome, speak to your doctor, who may consider switching you to another class of medicine.

No, do not stop without consulting your doctor. High blood pressure often has no symptoms, and stopping suddenly can cause your blood pressure to rise again or worsen heart failure.
