Zestoretic (lisinopril, hydrochlorothiazide) is a dual-action medication used to treat high blood pressure. Patients usually buy Zestoretic when a single medication isn't producing good results, though some patients who are likely to need more than one medication may be started on it.

The two active ingredients in this product are:

• lisinopril is an angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor which works by relaxing blood vessels, improving blood flow and increasing oxygen supply to the heart.
• hydrochlorothiazide is a thiazide diuretic that removes water from the body through urination, which reduces blood pressure.

Combined, the two ingredients are a powerful weapon in the battle against high blood pressure. They reduce strain on blood vessels and the heart, significantly reducing risk of kidney damage, stroke, heart attack, and even death.

Managing Blood Pressure with Zestoretic

This product comes in tablets, taken once per day with or without food as desired. It takes two to three weeks of regular treatment before maximum results are seen; unless blood pressure drops too low, it's advisable to wait at least a couple of weeks before dismissing the medication as ineffective.

Patients have the option buy Zestoretic in one of several strengths:

• 10/12.5 mg lisinopril/hydrochlorothiazide
• 20/12.5 mg lisinopril/hydrochlorothiazide
• 20/25 mg lisinopril/hydrochlorothiazide

Treatment usually starts with the lowest dose, 10/12.5 mg lisinopril/hydrochlorothiazide. Dosage may be increased every two to three weeks if results are insufficient. Patients already taking both ingredients individually may start treatment at the same dosage of the individual component.

Regular doctor checkups will be needed in the first few months of treatment, both to ensure the medication is working as intended and to monitor for developing side effects.

Patients are often advised to make lifestyle changes as well, in an attempt to address the underlying issue. Common suggestions include managing weight, regular exercise, getting sufficient sleep, quitting smoking, avoiding stress, and so forth. Patients unable to make these changes---or when changes make little difference to blood pressure---will likely need to buy Zestoretic for the remainder of life.

Precautions & Side Effects

Patients planning to buy Zestoretic should be aware that the medication can cause severe harm or even death to unborn babies. Avoid use if pregnant or trying to become pregnant; if pregnancy does occur, speak with a doctor as to the best course of action. Effects of Zestoretic on nursing babies is less clear, though the medication is present in milk.

Zestoretic is an ACE inhibitor; do not use this product if there have been problems with other ACE inhibitors.
