Prinivil Information:
Prinivil (generic name: Lisinopril) is a drug which is prescribed for the treatment of high blood pressure, also known as hypertension. The active ingredient is Lisinopril. Lisinopril is an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor or ACE inhibitor. Prinivil helps to lower blood pressure. Many patients with hypertension do not have any symptoms at all, which is why it has been dubbed “the silent killer”, it is therefore recommended that after age 60 you have your blood pressure checked on a regular basis – at least once every 6 months. Some people may experience symptoms such as dizziness and feelings of nausea. Hypertension is more common in women than men and the risk increases with age. Hypertension increases the risk of heart disease, angina, stroke and blood clots. Prinivil is also directed to treat congestive heart failure and to improve chances of survival after a heart attack has occurred.
