Azapril 2.5

الوصف

Azapril 2.5 is a low-dose tablet containing 2.5 mg lisinopril, an ACE inhibitor used primarily for managing high blood pressure and heart conditions.​

What Azapril 2.5 is

• Lisinopril relaxes blood vessels by blocking angiotensin-converting enzyme, reducing blood pressure and easing heart workload.​

• The 2.5 mg strength serves as a starting dose, especially for those sensitive to ACE inhibitors.​

Main uses

• Treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure), often alone or with diuretics.​

• Heart failure management and support in stable patients post-heart attack; also for kidney protection in type 2 diabetes with hypertension.​

Typical dosing

• Initial dose for hypertension or heart failure is often 2.5 mg once daily, titrated up based on response and tolerance (max usually 40 mg/day).​

• Taken once daily with water, with or without food; lower doses suit kidney impairment or elderly patients.​

Side effects and warnings

• Common: dry cough, dizziness, headache, fatigue; monitor for low blood pressure, especially after first dose.​

• Serious risks: angioedema (swelling), high potassium, kidney changes; avoid in pregnancy and with certain drugs like aliskiren in diabetes.​

Practical advice

• Regular blood pressure, kidney function, and potassium checks are essential.​

• Do not adjust dose without medical advice; inform doctor of all medications to avoid interactions.​
