This medicine is a combination medication that contains two active ingredients: lisinopril (an ACE inhibitor) and hydrochlorothiazide (a thiazide diuretic).
It is primarily used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and can also help reduce the risk of stroke and heart attack.

Benefits:
-Blood Pressure Control: Helps lower blood pressure, which reduces the risk of cardiovascular events.
-Heart Protection: Provides protective Benefits: for the heart by improving blood flow and reducing strain on the heart.
-Diuretic Effect: The hydrochlorothiazide component helps eliminate excess fluid from the body, further aiding in blood pressure reduction.

Precautions:
-Allergic Reactions: Individuals with a history of allergic reactions to lisinopril or hydrochlorothiazide should avoid this medication.
-Kidney Function: Regular monitoring of kidney function is necessary, as both components can affect renal health.
-Electrolyte Imbalance: Patients should be monitored for electrolyte levels, particularly potassium, as thiazide diuretics can lead to low potassium levels (hypokalemia).
-Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding unless specifically advised by a healthcare provider.

Side Effects:
-Common side effects may include dizziness, headache, fatigue, cough, and gastrointestinal disturbances.
-Serious side effects can include severe allergic reactions (swelling of face/lips/tongue), kidney problems (decreased urine output), and electrolyte imbalances (muscle cramps or weakness).

Main Ingredient and Their Benefits:
-Lisinopril is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor that helps to lower blood pressure by relaxing blood vessels, which improves blood flow and reduces the workload on the heart. It is also beneficial for patients with heart failure as it can improve survival rates and decrease hospitalizations related to heart issues. Additionally, lisinopril has protective effects on the kidneys, particularly in individuals with diabetes, by reducing proteinuria and slowing the progression of kidney disease.

-Hydrochlorothiazide is a thiazide diuretic that aids in lowering blood pressure by promoting the excretion of sodium and water through urine, which decreases blood volume and subsequently lowers blood pressure. This medication also helps to reduce edema (swelling) associated with conditions such as heart failure or liver cirrhosis. Furthermore, hydrochlorothiazide can help prevent kidney stones by reducing calcium levels in the urine.
