Uses of Lisotec 2.5 MG Tablet

What is it prescribed for?

Hypertension

Blood pressure is the force of blood pushing against the walls of your blood vessels. Hypertension or high blood pressure occurs when blood vessels are tightened or narrowed. The higher blood pressure in the heart increases the body’s oxygen demand. Lisotec 2.5 MG Tablet causes blood vessels to relax which helps to reduce the blood pressure and body’s oxygen demand. Making certain lifestyle changes like regular exercise, weight control, quitting smoking, limiting alcohol use, and lowering the quantity of salt will also help this medicine to decrease your blood pressure.

Congestive Heart Failure

Congestive heart failure (CHF) is a condition where the walls of your heart thicken and thus cannot pump sufficient blood to your body parts. Lisotec 2.5 MG Tablet is used along with other medications in the treatment of congestive heart failure.

Myocardial infarction

Myocardial infarction or Heart attack is a type of heart disease characterized by a blockage of your blood vessels that pumps blood to the heart. Lisotec 2.5 MG Tablet is used in the treatment of myocardial infarction in patients with systolic pressure greater than 100mm of Hg.
