Zestril 20mg Tablet:
Zestril 20mg Tablet – ACE Inhibitor for Blood Pressure & Heart Protection
Zestril 20mg Tablet contains Lisinopril, an ACE inhibitor (Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme Inhibitor) used to manage high blood pressure (hypertension), heart failure, and to improve survival after a heart attack (myocardial infarction). It helps relax blood vessels, making it easier for the heart to pump blood and reducing the risk of strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems.
Lisinopril works by blocking the conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II, a potent vasoconstrictor, thereby lowering blood pressure and decreasing strain on the heart.
