Used For:

This combination medication is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and to reduce the risk of stroke and heart attack. Lisinopril is an ACE inhibitor that works by relaxing blood vessels, improving blood flow, and reducing blood pressure. Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic (water pill) that helps the body get rid of excess salt and water, further lowering blood pressure. This combination may also be used to treat heart failure or to prevent kidney complications in individuals with diabetes.

Side Effects:

Common side effects include dizziness, headache, fatigue, and frequent urination. Other possible side effects are low potassium levels, dehydration, or a dry cough (due to lisinopril). Rare but serious side effects include low blood pressure, allergic reactions (such as swelling or rash), and kidney problems.

Precautions:

Lisinopril and hydrochlorothiazide should be used cautiously in individuals with kidney problems, liver disease, or a history of electrolyte imbalances. Regular monitoring of blood pressure, kidney function, and electrolytes is recommended. This medication should be avoided during pregnancy, especially in the second and third trimesters. It may interact with other medications, including potassium supplements or NSAIDs, so it is important to inform your healthcare provider about all medications being taken.
