About Listril Plus Tablet 15's

Listril Plus Tablet 15's is prescribed alone or in combination with other drugs to lower the raised blood pressure. Listril Plus Tablet 15's is also used to treat fluid retention (oedema) and kidney problems due to Type II diabetes in patients with high blood pressure. Hypertension (High blood pressure) is a condition in which the force exerted by the blood against the artery walls becomes so high that it causes health problems, such as heart disease.

Listril Plus Tablet 15's contains two medicines: Lisinopril (blood pressure-lowering agent) and Hydrochlorothiazide (diuretics or water pills). Lisinopril is an angiotensin-converting enzyme or ACE inhibitor that lowers increased blood pressure by blocking a naturally occurring substance known as angiotensin II (that tightens your blood vessels). It allows these constricted blood vessels to relax and, therefore, helps lower high blood pressure. On the other hand, Hydrochlorothiazide (diuretic) works by increasing the amount of urine passed out from the kidneys. It effectively reduces excess fluid overload in the body and treats oedema (swelling) associated with heart, liver, kidney, or lung disease. This reduces the heart's workload and makes the heart more efficient at pumping blood throughout the body. Thus, collectively, both help lower high blood pressure, reducing heart attack, or stroke chances.

Take Listril Plus Tablet 15's as prescribed. Your doctor will advise you on the exact dosage and how often you have to take Listril Plus Tablet 15's based on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience nausea, taste change, stomach pain, diarrhoea, dizziness, decreased blood pressure, cough, increased blood lipid level, and electrolyte imbalance. Most of these side effects of Listril Plus Tablet 15's do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor. Listril Plus Tablet 15's may lower your blood pressure, especially if taken with alcohol. So, avoid driving and operating heavy machinery.

Try not to stop taking this medicine of your own. Even if your blood pressure becomes normal, you should not stop using Listril Plus Tablet 15's. Doing so may worsen your condition. Let your doctor know if you have had or currently have any kidney disease, liver disease, glaucoma, high levels of calcium in your blood, or diabetes. Do not take Listril Plus Tablet 15's if you are more than 3 months pregnant or if you are a breast-feeding woman. You should regularly monitor your blood pressure and heart rate. Please tell your doctor if you are taking any other medicines or are allergic to Listril Plus Tablet 15's. Reducing the amount of table salt (sodium chloride) in your food often relieves the body's swelling. Listril Plus Tablet 15's is not recommended for children under 6 years of age.
