CO Lisinopril dosing

Usual Adult Dose for Hypertension:

Initial dose: 10 mg orally once a day; 5 mg orally once a day
Maintenance dose: 20 to 40 mg orally once a day
Maximum dose: 80 mg orally once a day
Comments:
-The initial dose is 5 mg orally once a day in patients receiving a diuretic.
-The 80 mg dose is used but does not appear to give greater effect.
-If blood pressure is not controlled with CO Lisinopril alone, a low dose of a diuretic may be added. After the addition of a diuretic, it may be possible to reduce the dose of CO Lisinopril.

Usual Adult Dose for Congestive Heart Failure:

Initial dose: 2.5 to 5 mg orally once a day
Maintenance dose: Dosage should be increased as tolerated
Maximum dose: 40 mg orally once a day

Initial dose: 5 mg orally
Subsequent doses: 5 mg orally after 24 hours, then 10 mg orally after 48 hours.

Select the most affordable brand or generic drug

Generic drug is the basic drug with an active substance in it, and the name of the generic drug is same as active substance most of the times. Like Acetaminophen/Paracetemol is Generic name and it has different brand names like Tylenol, Acimol, Crocin, Calpol etc. All these Brand names contain the same Paracetemol, but the medications are manufactured by different companies, so the different brand names. Generic drug is always cheaper and affordable, and it can be replaced in place of brand name drug prescribed by the healthcare practitioner. The Generic medicine has same properties as branded medicine in terms of uses, indications, doses, side effects, so no need to worry on that. Just select the most affordable generic or branded medicine.
