Pharmacological properties
This drug Lizoretik-10 belongs to combined drugs – inhibitors of angiotensin-converting enzymes and diuretics.
The effect of the drug is explained by the properties of its main components – lisinopril, an ACE inhibitor and hydrochlorothiazide, a thiazide diuretic. These substances complement each other’s effectiveness, enhancing the hypotensive effect.
Lisinopril is a peptidyl dipeptidase inhibitor that suppresses the ACE enzyme that promotes the conversion of angiotensin I into the angiotensin II peptide, which constricts blood vessels. The latter causes stimulation of the secretion of aldosterone by the adrenal glands. As a result of metabolic processes, it leads to an increase in serum potassium, a decrease in blood pressure, including in patients with low renin.
Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic that causes the reabsorption of electrolytes in the kidneys, increasing the excretion of sodium and chloride, and potassium and bicarbonate can be lost. By itself, without causing a decrease in pressure, it nevertheless facilitates this process when used in combination.

Elderly patients or patients with liver disease do not need a dosage adjustment.

Overdose
Overdose symptoms are:

• arterial hypotension, circulatory shock, electrolyte imbalance;
• renal failure, hyperventilation;
• tachycardia, bradycardia, arrhythmia;
• dizziness, anxiety, cough.
• decrease in electrolytes (hypokalemia, hypochloremia, hyponatremia) with hydrochlorothiazide overdose and dehydration as a result of excessive diuresis;

Treatment is symptomatic. Blood electrolyte levels need to be monitored.
Hemodialysis is recommended.

Side effects
In some cases, there are side effects such as:

• dizziness, headache, loss of consciousness;
• orthostatic hypotension;
• cough, rhinitis, chest pain, diarrhea, nausea, rash, itching;
• mood changes, depression;
• paresthesia, vertigo, taste disturbances, insomnia;
• increased levels of liver enzymes and bilirubin;
• fatigue, asthenia, impotence;
• increased blood urea, increased serum creatinine, hyperkalemia.
• myocardial infarction or stroke as a result of excessive hypotension in high-risk patients, palpitations, tachycardia.

If you experience any unusual side effects as a result of taking this drug, you should consult your doctor about possible changes in the treatment regimen.
