Zestril 20mg Tablet

Zestril 20mg Tablet belongs to a group of medicines called ACE inhibitors, with Lisinopril as its active ingredient. While it works quietly inside your body, you might notice some mild effects like dizziness, headache, tiredness, or a dry cough—these are quite common and usually manageable. Before you start taking it, keep in mind that this is a prescription medicine and should only be taken under the guidance of a healthcare professional. It’s important to follow your doctor’s advice and never adjust the dose yourself—even if you’re feeling better.

Swallow the tablet whole with water, preferably at the same time every day, with or without food.

The usual dosage may vary from 10mg to 40mg once daily, depending on individual health needs and doctor’s prescription.

Zestril 20mg Tablet has a shelf life of 3 years from the date of manufacture.

Store in a cool, dry place below 30°C and protect from moisture and direct sunlight. Keep out of reach of children.

Do not take if you’ve had a history of allergic reaction to Lisinopril or any other ACE inhibitors. It’s also not recommended during pregnancy, in patients with hereditary angioedema, or those with severe kidney disease unless directed by a physician.

Avoid potassium supplements or salt substitutes unless recommended by your doctor—as they can increase potassium levels dangerously. Certain diuretics, lithium, and NSAIDs (like ibuprofen) may interact with Zestril. Alcohol can further lower your blood pressure and increase side effects like dizziness, so drink with caution or avoid altogether.

• Take it exactly as prescribed, even if you feel well.
• Do not suddenly stop taking without medical advice.
• Check your blood pressure regularly.
• Rise slowly from sitting or lying positions to avoid dizziness.
• Stay hydrated—especially in hot weather or when exercising.
• Inform your doctor about all medications you’re on to prevent interactions.
• Avoid alcohol or limit intake while on this medication.
• It might make you feel tired at first—do not drive until you know how it affects you.
