The hydrochlorothiazide part acts as a gentle water pill, helping your kidneys remove extra salt and water from your body, which helps lower blood pressure naturally.

Reduces strain on the heart

By lowering blood pressure, hydrochlorothiazide/lisinopril in Zestoretic 5/12.5mg reduces the workload on your heart, helping it pump blood more efficiently and lowering the risk of complications over time.

Supports long-term health

Using Zestoretic 5/12.5mg daily helps prevent damage to your blood vessels, heart, and kidneys, which can happen when high blood pressure is left untreated.

Follow your doctor’s guidance

Indications / Usage

Zestoretic 5/12.5 mg is a combined drug which consists of 5 mg lisinopril (ACE inhibitor) and 12.5 mg hydrochlorothiazide (thiazide diuretic). It is indicated for treatment of hypertension in case of necessity of application of both components in therapy. Lisinopril helps to reduce blood pressure due to its ability to block production of angiotensin II, whereas hydrochlorothiazide increases elimination of extra fluid and sodium ions from the body via urine. This leads to decrease of blood pressure and prevention of complications, such as stroke, myocardial infarction and kidney damage. Despite the fact that FDA approved Zestoretic in doses 10/12.5 mg, 20/12.5 mg and 20/25 mg, combination of lisinopril 5 mg and hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg can also be available on the pharmaceutical market.

Consult your doctor in case if your symptoms persist or if your treatment is ineffective.
