What is Cipril-H

Cipril is a medication for treating Hypertension (High Blood Pressure). 

This medicine combines two ingredients: Hydrochlorothiazide (12.5MG) + Lisinopril (5MG).

It reduces the likelihood of Heart attacks, strokes, or kidney failure.

This is an FDA-approved prescription-based medication. 

Cipla Ltd. is a renowned pharmaceutical company that manufactures Cipril H - 5 + 12.5 mg.

Uses of Cipril

Cipril medication is prescribed to treat Hypertension (High Blood Pressure).

Hypertension (High Blood Pressure)

Hypertension is the condition of the body when the blood pressure is above normal levels. 

High Blood Pressure harms the brain, heart, and kidney blood vessels.

The force exerted by the blood against the arterial walls is consistently too high. The heart has to put more effort into pumping blood.

It increases the heart and arteries' workload.

If it is left untreated, the heart and arteries may stop functioning correctly. 

Hypertension can increase the risk of heart attacks, strokes, or kidney failure. 

How does Cipril-H work

Cirpil combines two medicines: Hydrochlorothiazide and Lisinopril.

Lisinopril

Lisinopril is an inhibitor of ACE (Angiotensin Converting Enzyme).

It functions by inhibiting a chemical in the body that tightens blood vessels.

This inhibition relaxes the blood vessels to ease the flow of blood through them.

Lisinopril reduces blood pressure and boosts the heart's blood and oxygen supply.

Hydrochlorothiazide 

Hydrochlorothiazide is a Thiazide Diuretic (water pill). 

It functions by increasing urination, which helps the body to get rid of excess salt and water.

This process helps in lowering blood pressure.

These two ingredients together make the Cipril medication effective in treating High Blood Pressure.
