Alis 5 MG Tablet 10 contains lisinopril (5 mg), which works on your body through the following mechanisms:

• Inhibition of Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme: Lisinopril acts by blocking the activity of an enzyme in your body called angiotensin-converting enzyme. This enzyme is responsible for converting a substance called angiotensin I into another substance known as angiotensin II.

• Reduction of Blood Pressure: Angiotensin II narrows blood vessels and increases blood pressure. By inhibiting the formation of angiotensin II, lisinopril helps relax blood vessels, which reduces the stress on your heart and lowers blood pressure.

• Decrease in Aldosterone Secretion: Lisinopril also reduces the secretion of a hormone called aldosterone from the adrenal cortex in your body. This action can lead to a slight increase in serum potassium levels, promoting better electrolyte balance.

• Store Alis 5 MG Tablet 10 in a closed container at room temperature.

• Protect the medicine from direct sunlight and moisture.

• Keep Alis 5 MG Tablet 10 out of reach of children and pets for their safety.

• Ensure you use the medicine before its expiry date.

• If you have high blood pressure, aim to reduce your sodium intake. High sodium foods can increase blood pressure, so opt for low-sodium alternatives.

• Engage in regular physical activity. Regular exercise helps manage heart failure symptoms and control high blood pressure. Always consult your doctor before starting any exercise programme.
