Summary

Lisinopril is a medication used to lower high blood pressure and help the heart work more efficiently. It belongs to a group of drugs called ACE inhibitors (angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors). It works by relaxing blood vessels, which helps to reduce blood pressure and makes it easier for the heart to pump blood.
