WHAT CO-LISINOMYL IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Co-Lisinomyl is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). It
contains two medicines called
lisinopril and hydrochlorothiazide which act together to lower your
blood pressure.
Lisinopril
belongs
to
a
group
of
medicines
called
Angiotensin
Converting
Enzyme
(ACE)
inhibitors. ACE inhibitors lower blood pressure by widening your blood
vessels. This allows the
blood to flow more easily and reduces the effort needed to pump blood
around the body.
Hydrochlorothiazide belongs to the group of medicines called thiazide
diuretics (water tablets). The
medicine works by helping your body to get rid of water and salts
(like sodium) by increasing the
amount of urine made by your kidneys.
Co-Lisinomyl is used to treat patients whose blood pressure is not
adequately controlled by
lisinopril alone or hydrochlorothiazide alone.
If high blood pressure is left untreated it can increase the risk of
heart disease or stroke. Co-
Lisinomyl works by lowering your blood pressure, which reduces this
risk.

POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
_Essential Hypertension _
The selection of a suitable antihypertensive dose of lisinopril and
hydrochlorothiazide will depend
upon the clinical evaluation of the patient.
The recommended dose is one tablet administered once daily. As with
other medicines that are
taken once daily, Co-Lisinomyl should be taken at about the same time
each day.
The
administration
of
the
fixed
combination
lisinopril
and
hydrochlorothiazide
is
usually
recommended after dosage titration with the individual components.
