WHAT FOSINOPRIL SODIUM AUROBINDO IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Fosinopril belongs to a group of medicines known as ACE (angiotensin
converting enzyme) -
inhibitors. Fosinopril binds to the ACE in the body, thereby
inhibiting the formation of angiotensin II,
a substance which raises the blood pressure. Angiotensin II also has a
vasoconstricting effect which
narrows the blood vessels. By inhibiting this substance, there is a
decrease in pressure inside the blood
vessels and heart function can be improved.
Fosinopril Aurobindo is prescribed if you have high blood pressure, or
if the heart is not working
sufficiently, this is known as "heart failure".

POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Posology
Fosinopril sodium should be administered orally in a single daily
dose. As with all other medicinal
products taken once daily, it should be taken at approximately the
same time each day. The absorption
of fosinopril sodium is not affected by food.
The usual initial 10 mg dose has not been studied in patients with
severe heart failure NYHA IV and
in patients over 75 years treated for heart failure (see section 4.4).
In patients who are at particular risk of hypotension (since the
renine-angiotensin-aldosteron system
has been activated, See section 4.4), such as patients with severe
cardiac heart failure (NYHA IV),
patients over 75 years treated for heart failure, patients with severe
renal and /or severe hepatic
impairment, and patients treated with diuretics, it is however
recommended to initiate the treatment
with a reduced (5 mg) dose.
