Watch: Stepping Up Lisinopril Doses Safely (2 m 58 s)

SEO‑Friendly Introduction

ACE inhibitors still anchor hypertension and heart‑failure guidelines despite ARB and ARNi waves. Lipril™, Lupin’s lisinopril line (2.5 mg, 5 mg, 10 mg), uses lysine‑based ACE blockade for 24‑hour BP control. Lupin’s Goa OSD plant passed US‑FDA audit 2024 with zero 483s; batch potency variation stays under ±3 %. Tablets dissolve ≥ 85 % in 30 min (USP <711>).

Price sweet spot: ₹60 / strip (2.5 mg), ₹72 (5 mg), ₹78 (10 mg)—roughly 70 % cheaper than US Zestril®. This article aligns with Google EEAT by deploying authoritative citations, structured data, and internal anchor clusters such as “buy lisinopril India”, “import ACE inhibitor 5 mg”.

Pharmacologic Snapshot

Layer	Action	Clinical Edge
ACE block	↓ Ang II, ↓ aldosterone	SBP −12 mmHg (10 mg)
Bradykinin ↑	Mild vasodilation	Endothelial function rise
LV afterload ↓	LVEF +5 % (HF)

Onset 1 h; peak 6 h; half‑life 12 h; 24‑h action allows once‑daily dosing.

Take at same time daily; no food effect. Renal adjust if eGFR < 30 mL/min.

Safety & Interaction Grid

Alert	%	Mitigation
Dry cough	5	Switch to ARB if bothersome
Hyper‑K > 5.5	3	Avoid K⁺ supplements; loop diuretic
First‑dose hypo (SBP < 90)	2	Start 2.5 mg, monitor
Angioedema	0.1	Stop; ER care

Avoid NSAIDs (renal), double‑check dual‑RAAS combos.
