What Is Lisinopril?

Possible Uses And Benefits

It seems as if lisinopril is a common high blood pressure medication. However, this may not be the only use for it. Doctors can choose to prescribe it to treat heart failure or a heart attack. However, there may be a time limit. If patients want the best chance of survival, they may have to take this medication within twenty-four hours. It may also help prevent a stroke from occurring.

Some patients may receive this medication for an 'off-label' use. This can be for conditions such as coronary artery disease, diabetes, or migraines. Research appears to show that it can slow down the progression of kidney disease in diabetes patients. It may also help slow diabetic retinopathy by fifty percent. Some migraine patients may experience a twenty percent drop in the severity and duration of them. They may also see a twenty-one percent reduction in the number of days that they experience migraines.
