Lisinopril-Hctz
Lisinopril/hydrochlorothiazide


Lisinopril-Hctz is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). Lisinopril-Hctz is a combination of two drugs (an ACE inhibitor and a thiazide water pill /diuretic). Lisinopril works by relaxing blood vessels, causing them to widen. The thiazide diuretic increases the amount of urine you make, therefore decreasing excess water and salt in your body. High blood pressure reduction helps prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems.

ALTERNATE NAMES

Prinzide, Zestoretic
