Effect of Lisinopril
Lisinopril belongs to the drug group of ACE inhibitors, but together with Captopril is a special feature. It does not have to be activated in the body, unlike the other ACE inhibitors, so it is not a prodrug, but is directly as an active form given.
Lisinopril only needs to be taken once a day as its duration of action is approximately 24 hours. However, its effect does not begin until one hour after ingestion. In addition, lisinopril is an active ingredient that is ingested only a quarter (25%) in the body. Because the drug is mainly excreted from the kidneys with urine, the dose must be reduced in patients with severe renal impairment and deficient urinary output.

Before taking Tambocor, I was very athletic and fit. If I had not fallen over during atrial fibrillation because of heart failure, I would never take such a drug with effects on the liver. Even with little exercise, I get anxiety, tightness and shortness of breath. The Verapamil I just sneak out because the leaflet by Tambocor before taking both drugs is warned (but I was prescribed in the hospital so). I’m very unhappy because of my current situation. By now I have lost almost 5 kg of weight.

After 6 years of taking beta-blockers (Beloc Zok later Nobivonol) I was switched to an ACE inhibitor (lisinopril) by the cardiologist. Now take them for 12 days and have more heartbeats up to 118 strokes during the day. I can now only suspect that these are side effects of lisinopril, or withdrawal symptoms of the beta blockers.

Also I had various side effects, weight gain, dizziness, fatigue, increased sweating. And actually, I always had a bad feeling about taking the tablet. The side effects were – in retrospect – felt within limits. Only the permanent damage when taking the tablet – with me in the episode Diabetes II – are terrible. – Meanwhile, however, I have found a way to get off the tablets altogether with a normal blood pressure and without diabetes II. The tablets have helped me to keep the increased blood pressure in check, and I do not want to demonize the medication. Who knows if I would still be there without her? I think it’s a pity that I got to know this absolutely simple therapy so late and that she healed me. I would be happy if others can become so healthy and healthy.
