Lisinopril is a medication used to treat high blood pressure and other cardiovascular conditions. It belongs to a class of drugs known as angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, which work by blocking the action of certain hormones in the body that can cause blood vessels to narrow. This helps to reduce blood pressure and improve blood flow. Lisinopril is also used to treat congestive heart failure, and can be used in combination with other medications to reduce the risk of stroke and heart attack. Lisinopril is available in both generic and brand-name forms, and is widely prescribed by doctors. It is generally well-tolerated, with few side effects. Common side effects include headache, dizziness, and fatigue. The lisinopril market is a major component of the cardiovascular drugs market, which is estimated to be worth billions of dollars. It is expected to continue to grow in the coming years, driven by an aging population and increasing prevalence of cardiovascular diseases. Some of the major companies in the lisinopril market include Pfizer, Merck, Novartis, Sanofi, and GlaxoSmithKline. Show Less Read more
