Overview
Dapril 5mg Tablet contains lisinopril 5mg, an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension), heart failure, and to improve survival after a heart attack.
Lisinopril works by blocking the enzyme that converts angiotensin I into angiotensin II, a hormone that narrows blood vessels and triggers sodium and fluid retention. By reducing angiotensin II, lisinopril relaxes blood vessels, lowers blood pressure, and eases the heart’s workload.
How it Works
Lisinopril inhibits angiotensin-converting enzyme, reducing the formation of angiotensin II and lowering aldosterone secretion. This widens blood vessels and reduces fluid retention, and it also increases bradykinin levels, which contributes to the characteristic dry cough some people experience with this medicine class.
Directions for Use
Take Dapril 5mg Tablet at about the same time every day, with or without food. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water, and do not stop taking this medicine suddenly without consulting your doctor, even if you feel well, as blood pressure control needs to be continuous.
Dosage
The usual starting dose of Dapril 5mg Tablet for hypertension is 10mg once daily, which your doctor may adjust up to 40mg daily depending on your blood pressure response; dosing for heart failure or after a heart attack is individualised and typically started at a lower dose. Always take exactly as prescribed by your doctor.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Dapril 5mg Tablet used for?
Dapril 5mg Tablet is used to treat high blood pressure, heart failure, and to improve outcomes after a heart attack. Your doctor will confirm the specific reason it has been prescribed for you.
Why do I have a dry cough since starting this medicine?
A persistent dry cough is a known side effect of ACE inhibitors like lisinopril, caused by increased bradykinin levels. If the cough is bothersome, speak to your doctor, as an alternative medicine may be considered.
