Zestoretic® Tablets for Hypertension

Zestoretic is a prescription combination tablet used to lower high blood pressure. It combines an ACE inhibitor and a thiazide diuretic in one daily dose. We offer US shipping from Canada, with options that may help if you need Lisinopril HCTZ without insurance.

What Zestoretic Is and How It Works

Zestoretic® contains lisinopril, an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, and hydrochlorothiazide, a thiazide diuretic. Lisinopril reduces angiotensin II formation, which widens blood vessels and lowers vascular resistance. Hydrochlorothiazide helps your kidneys remove excess salt and water, which reduces fluid volume and supports blood pressure control. Using both medicines together may provide additive effects for hypertension management.

YouDrugstore is a licensed Canadian pharmacy in Manitoba. Pharmacists review prescriptions before dispensing.

This medicine is taken regularly, not as-needed. It works best when combined with lifestyle measures, such as reduced sodium intake and regular activity. See our condition page on Hypertension for practical background.

Who It’s For

This treatment is indicated for adults with hypertension when combination therapy is appropriate. It may be used when a prescriber believes an ACE inhibitor plus a thiazide diuretic can help achieve target blood pressure.

People who should avoid it include those with a history of angioedema related to ACE inhibitors, hereditary or idiopathic angioedema, anuria, or hypersensitivity to sulfonamide-derived drugs. It is not recommended during pregnancy. Use caution in significant kidney disease, liver impairment, or with conditions that affect electrolytes. Discuss your history with your healthcare professional before starting.

Dosage and Usage

Take one tablet by mouth once daily, as prescribed. Swallow with water. You may take it with or without food, but try to be consistent day to day. If your prescriber starts you on separate components, they may switch to the fixed-dose tablet once your regimen is stable.

Hydration matters. Dehydration from illness, sweating, or diuretics can increase dizziness or kidney-related side effects. Rise slowly from sitting or lying positions to minimize lightheadedness. Do not change your dose on your own. If you have questions about your schedule, refer to the official label or speak with your prescriber or pharmacist.

Strengths and Forms

The combination is available as oral tablets in multiple fixed strengths pairing lisinopril with hydrochlorothiazide. Common options include 10/12.5 mg, 20/12.5 mg, 20/25 mg, and 40/25 mg tablets. Availability may vary by manufacturer and market. Your prescriber will choose the strength that matches your plan.

Missed Dose and Timing

If you miss a dose, take it when you remember the same day. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed tablet and resume your usual schedule. Do not take two doses at once. Keeping a daily routine or using a reminder can help you stay on track.

Storage and Travel Basics

Store tablets at room temperature in the original container. Protect from excess moisture and light. Keep out of reach of children and pets. Do not store in a bathroom where humidity is high. Close the cap tightly after each use.

When traveling, carry your medicine in your hand luggage with the pharmacy label. Pack enough for your trip, plus a few extra days. A basic list of your prescriptions and your prescriber’s contact details can be helpful if plans change.

Benefits

This combination allows two mechanisms in one tablet, which can simplify routines. It may reduce the number of separate medicines you need to take. Taking a single daily dose can support adherence, which is important for long-term blood pressure control. As a widely used class-based therapy, generics are available in many strengths. This can make access easier compared to some branded options, and the generic Zestoretic price is often lower than brand-only therapies.

Side Effects and Safety

• Dizziness or lightheadedness
• Headache or fatigue
• Dry, persistent cough
• Increased urination
• Photosensitivity or rash
• Electrolyte changes, including low sodium or low potassium

Serious but less common effects can include angioedema (swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat), severe hypotension, kidney function changes, and high potassium. Seek urgent care for any swelling of the face or throat, trouble breathing, fainting, or severe weakness. The diuretic can raise uric acid and may worsen gout in susceptible people. This medicine may affect blood glucose in some individuals with diabetes.

Drug Interactions and Cautions

Tell your prescriber about all medicines, vitamins, and supplements you use. Important interactions may occur with:

• Potassium supplements or potassium-sparing diuretics
• NSAIDs, which may reduce kidney blood flow
• Lithium, which may reach higher levels
• Other blood pressure medicines or diuretics
• Cholestyramine or colestipol, which can affect absorption
• Aliskiren in diabetes, which is usually avoided with ACE inhibitors

Limit alcohol, which can add to dizziness. If you plan a contrast imaging study or surgery, inform your care team about your ACE inhibitor and diuretic use. Your clinician may periodically check kidney function and electrolytes.

What to Expect Over Time

Blood pressure may trend down over the first weeks as you take your tablets consistently. Some people notice early dizziness, especially when standing quickly. This usually improves after your body adjusts. Your care team may refine your dose or strength based on your response. Keep a log of home readings if advised. Bring your cuff or readings to visits to support evaluation and adjustments.

Compare With Alternatives

Other approved combinations and class options may fit different needs. Angiotensin receptor blocker plus thiazide products, such as Candesartan Hctz, are alternatives if an ACE inhibitor is not suitable. For patients who do well with ACE inhibitors, a different pairing like Ramipril Hctz may be considered. Your prescriber will choose according to your history and blood pressure goals.

Patient Suitability and Cost-Saving Tips

This therapy may suit adults who need combination control in a single daily tablet. It may not be right for people with prior ACE inhibitor angioedema, pregnancy, or anuria. If you have chronic kidney disease or electrolyte concerns, your clinician may monitor you more closely or choose a different plan.

• Multi-month fills: Ask about 60- or 90-day supplies if appropriate.
• Refill reminders: Set calendar alerts to avoid gaps.
• Consistent pharmacy: Keep fills in one place for clear records.
• Home monitoring: Track readings to support appointments.
