About Zonapril 5 Mg Tablet 10

Zonapril 5 Mg Tablet 10 is a medicine used to manage high blood pressure (hypertension) and heart failure in adults. By easing the workload on the heart and relaxing the blood vessels, it helps lower blood pressure and ease symptoms of heart failure such as breathlessness and tiredness.

It contains lisinopril and belongs to a group of medicines called ACE inhibitors, which relax and widen blood vessels so blood can flow more easily. It is usually taken at the same time each day. Continue taking it even if you feel well, as high blood pressure often has no symptoms, and do not stop it without medical advice.

Healthy lifestyle changes support treatment alongside this medicine. These include reducing salt in your diet, staying physically active, maintaining a healthy weight, and limiting alcohol.

Before taking this medicine, tell your doctor about any kidney problems or other medicines you take, and whether you are pregnant or planning pregnancy, as it is not suitable in pregnancy. A dry cough can occur with this type of medicine. Seek medical help straight away if you notice swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat (angioedema). Your doctor may check your kidney function and potassium levels.
