Zestril is an Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor. It relaxes the arteries and allows blood to flow without obstruction. To ensure effectiveness, take the pill using a doctor's prescription. The doctor can change your therapy schedule occasionally, depending on how you respond. Prinivil and Zestril are both brand names for the pill.

Dosage and Mode of Indication

Patients should take the pills alongside food but it can be taken on an empty stomach. It must be ingested as prescribed, which is typically once each day. If you're administering the suspension to children, shake the container properly. To avoid administering a wrong dosage, make use of the spoon provided in the pack.

The patient's weight (especially in children) determines the dosage as well as the health problem. You may start with low doses, then gradually move to higher doses if your system responds well. To gain more from Zestril or Prinivil, take it regularly even when you're feeling better. People who suffer from hypertension don't usually feel sick except there have other underlying illnesses.

Adults can ingest lisinopril 10 mg or five milligrams for hypertension once daily, but the maximum dosage is eighty milligrams. Children who are over six years can take a total of 5 mg daily for hypertension. Adults can take between 2.5 mg and 5 mg daily or a maximum of 40 mg for cases of heart failure. Your dosage can be adjusted based on your BP readings within one to two weeks of treatment.

Pregnant women or those who can conceive should not take Zestril or Prinivil. It could injure or abort a fetus if consumed in the 2nd or 3rd trimester. The physician will recommend a birth control medication when taking the pill.
