Hydrochlorothiazide, HCTZ; Lisinopril tablets

What do lisinopril; hydrochlorothiazide tablets do?
LISINOPRIL; HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE (Prinzide(R) or Zesteretic(R)) is a combination of two drugs used to lower blood pressure. Lisinopril is an ACE inhibitor that controls high blood pressure (hypertension) by relaxing blood vessels. Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic. High blood pressure can damage the blood vessels of the brain, heart, and kidneys, resulting in a stroke, heart failure, or kidney failure. By lowering blood pressure, lisinopril-hydrochlorothiazide can help reduce your risk of having damage to your kidneys, heart, or other organs. This medicine does not cure high blood pressure.

What should my health care professional know before I take lisinopril-hydrochlorothiazide?
They need to know if you have any of these conditions:
• autoimmune disease (e.g., lupus), or suppressed immune function
• previous swelling of the tongue, face, or lips with difficulty breathing, difficulty swallowing, hoarseness, or tightening of the throat (angioedema)
• bone marrow disease
• diabetes mellitus
• gout
• heart or blood vessel disease
• liver disease
• recent heart attack or stroke
• kidney disease, (e.g. renal failure or renal artery stenosis)
• pancreatitis
• electrolyte imbalance (e.g. low or high levels of potassium in the blood)
• if you are on a special diet, such as a low-salt diet (e.g. using potassium substitutes)
• sulfonamide (sulfa) or thiazide allergy
• an unusual or allergic reaction to lisinopril, hydrochlorothiazide, other medicines, foods, dyes, or preservatives
• pregnant or trying to get pregnant
• breast-feeding

How should I use this medicine?
Take lisinopril-hydrochlorothiazide tablets by mouth. Follow the directions on the prescription label. You may take lisinopril-hydrochlorothiazide with or without food. Swallow the tablets with a drink of water. Take your doses at regular intervals. Do not take your medicine more often than directed. Do not stop taking this medicine except on your prescriber's advice.

Many patients with high blood pressure will not notice any signs of the problem. Therefore, it is very important that you take this medicine exactly as directed and that you keep your appointments with your prescriber or health care professional even if you feel well.

Contact your pediatrician or health care professional regarding the use of this medicine in children. Special care may be needed.

What if I miss a dose?
