Pharmacological properties
Pharmacodynamics
Lysoretic is a combined preparation containing an ACE (angiotensin converting enzyme) inhibitor - lisinopril and a diuretic - hydrochlorothiazide as active substances. It has hypotensive and diuretic effects.
Lisinopril
As an ACE inhibitor, lisinopril reduces the formation of angiotensin II from angiotensin I, as a result of which the release of aldosterone decreases; reduces the degradation of bradykinin, increases the synthesis of prostaglandins. The substance provides a decrease in blood pressure (BP), reduces total peripheral vascular resistance, pulmonary capillary pressure and preload. In patients with heart failure, increases minute blood volume and exercise tolerance. Under the influence of lisinopril, the arteries expand to a greater extent than the veins. Some of its effects are due to the effect on the tissue renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS). With prolonged therapy, the hypertrophy of the myocardium and the walls of the resistive arteries decreases. The blood supply to the ischemic areas of the myocardium improves.
ACE inhibitors slow the progression of left ventricular dysfunction in patients without clinical manifestations of heart failure who have had myocardial infarction. Extend life expectancy in patients with chronic heart failure.
The effect of lisinopril develops within 1 hour, reaches a maximum within 6-7 hours, lasts up to 24 hours. In patients with arterial hypertension, the effect of the drug is observed in the first days of treatment, a stable effect develops after 1โ2 months of regular use.
Hydrochlorothiazide
Thiazide diuretic, the diuretic effect of which is explained by the violation of the reabsorption of water and ions of chlorine, sodium, magnesium and potassium in the distal nephron. Inhibits the excretion of uric acid and calcium ions. It has antihypertensive activity due to the expansion of arterioles. It has almost no effect on normal blood pressure.
The diuretic effect develops within 1-2 hours, reaches a maximum within 4 hours and lasts up to 6-12 hours. The hypotensive effect is observed after 3-4 days, however, to achieve a stable therapeutic effect, it may take up to 3-4 weeks of therapy.
Used simultaneously lisinopril and hydrochlorothiazide have an additive antihypertensive effect.
Pharmacokinetics
Data on the pharmacokinetic characteristics of Lysoretic are not provided.

Lysoretic, instructions for use: method and dosage
Lizoretic tablets should be taken orally 1 time per day.
The recommended starting dose is 1 tablet at a dosage of 10 mg + 12.5 mg. If the effect is not enough, 1 tablet is prescribed 20 mg + 12.5 mg.
Patients with renal insufficiency (CC 30โ80 ml / min) require careful titration of doses of its individual components before the appointment of Lysoretic. In uncomplicated renal failure, treatment is recommended to begin with a dose of 5-10 mg of lisinopril.
After taking the first dose of Lysoretic, symptomatic hypotension may develop, especially in patients with a lack of fluid and / or electrolytes due to previous diuretic therapy. In this regard, diuretics should be discontinued 2-3 days before the start of taking Lizoretic.
Side effects
The lysoretic is generally well tolerated. The side effects reported were mostly mild and transient. Dizziness and headache were most common.
In some cases, the following undesirable phenomena are observed:
- on the part of the cardiovascular system: infrequently - chest pain, a marked decrease in blood pressure; rarely - violation of atrioventricular conduction, bradycardia, tachycardia, orthostatic hypotension, symptoms of heart failure, myocardial infarction;
- from the respiratory system: infrequently - dyspnea, apnea, bronchospasm;
- on the part of the nervous system: infrequently - impaired concentration, increased fatigue, mood lability, drowsiness, paresthesias, convulsive twitching of the muscles of the limbs and lips; rarely - asthenic syndrome, confusion;
- from the digestive tract: infrequently - abdominal pain, dyspepsia, change in taste, dry mouth, nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, pancreatitis, jaundice, anorexia, hepatitis (hepatocellular and cholestatic);
- from the genitourinary system: infrequently - decreased potency, oliguria, anuria, uremia, impaired renal function, acute renal failure;
- on the part of the hematopoietic organs: anemia (decreased hemoglobin, hematocrit, erythrocytopenia), neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, leukopenia, agranulocytosis;
- laboratory parameters: infrequently - hyponatremia, hyperkalemia / hypokalemia, hypochloremia, hypomagnesemia, increased levels of urea and creatinine, hyperglycemia, hyperuricemia; rarely - decreased glucose tolerance, hypertriglyceridemia, hyperbilirubinemia, increased activity of hepatic transaminases, hypercholesterolemia;
- on the part of the skin: infrequently - sweating, urticaria, photosensitivity, hair loss;
- allergic reactions: infrequently - skin rashes, fever, itching, eosinophilia, increased erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), positive results for antinuclear antibodies, vasculitis, angioedema of the lips, tongue, face, epiglottis, larynx, extremities;
- others: infrequently - exacerbation of gout, arthritis, arthralgia, myalgia, dry cough, impaired fetal kidney development.
Overdose
In case of taking an excessive dose of Lysoretica, a pronounced decrease in blood pressure occurs.
Induce vomiting and / or gastric lavage. Overdose treatment is symptomatic and is aimed at correcting dehydration and violations of the water-salt balance. With arterial hypotension, the administration of an isotonic solution is indicated. It is necessary to control urine output, as well as the level of creatinine, urea and electrolytes in the blood serum.
special instructions
Some patients may develop symptomatic hypotension. Most often, it occurs with a decrease in the BCC during diuretic therapy, restricting salt intake, dialysis, diarrhea and vomiting. The development of symptomatic hypotension is possible in patients with chronic heart failure, especially with severe forms of the disease due to impaired renal function, hyponatremia, and the use of high doses of diuretics. In such patients, treatment with Lysoretic should begin under strict medical supervision. The same recommendations apply to patients with ischemic heart disease and cerebrovascular insufficiency, since a sharp decrease in blood pressure in them can cause myocardial infarction or stroke.
The development of a transient hypotensive reaction is not a contraindication for the subsequent administration of Lysoretic.
A pronounced decrease in blood pressure against the background of ACE inhibitors in patients with chronic heart failure can contribute to a further deterioration in renal function, up to acute renal failure.
In patients with bilateral renal artery stenosis or arterial stenosis of a solitary kidney, lisinopril may increase serum urea and creatinine. Usually these phenomena are reversible after discontinuation of the drug.
ACE inhibitors can cause cough - dry and prolonged, which disappears after the drug is stopped. This should be taken into account when conducting a differential diagnosis of cough.
The use of Lysoretic in some patients contributes to the development of hypercalcemia. Risk factors are: renal failure, diabetes mellitus, taking potassium preparations or drugs that increase the level of potassium in the blood (for example, heparin), especially in patients with functional impairment of the kidneys.
In patients at risk of symptomatic hypotension (for example, adhering to a low-salt or salt-free diet, receiving high doses of diuretics), the lack of fluid and salts is corrected before the appointment of Lizoretic.
Thiazide diuretics can affect glucose tolerance, so diabetic patients need to adjust the dose of the antidiabetic drug they are taking.
Hydrochlorothiazide is able to reduce the excretion of calcium in the urine, which leads to the development of hypercalcemia. It should be borne in mind that severe hypercalcemia may indicate latent hyperparathyroidism. In this regard, it is required to cancel the drug and conduct a study of the function of the parathyroid glands.
While taking Lizoretic, it is necessary to periodically determine the content of potassium, urea, creatinine and fats in the blood plasma.
With major surgery and during general anesthesia, ACE inhibitors can block the formation of angiotensin II, which leads to a pronounced decrease in blood pressure. This phenomenon can be eliminated by increasing the BCC. Patients are obliged to warn the doctor about taking Lysoretic before any surgical intervention, including dental.
Angioneurotic edema (lips, tongue, face, epiglottis, larynx, extremities) was observed in rare episodes in patients receiving ACE inhibitors, and in any period of treatment. In this case, you should immediately stop taking Lysoretic. If swelling occurs only on the lips and face, treatment is usually unnecessary. With severe edema, antihistamines are prescribed. Careful observation of the patient is required until complete regression of symptoms.
Swelling of the larynx can cause suffocation, or even death. If the tongue, larynx and / or epiglottis are swollen, airway obstruction is possible. That requires urgent appropriate therapy (subcutaneous injection of 0.3-0.5 ml of epinephrine / adrenaline solution 1 รท 1000) and / or measures to ensure airway patency.
In patients with a history of angioedema not associated with the use of ACE inhibitors, the risk of its development increases when taking lisinopril.
In patients receiving hemodialysis using membranes with high permeability, ACE inhibitors can cause anaphylactic reactions. In such cases, either the antihypertensive drug is replaced or a different type of membrane is used.
Patients should be especially careful when exercising and in hot weather, since a decrease in BCC increases the risk of dehydration and an excessive decrease in blood pressure.
During treatment, it is recommended to refrain from drinking alcoholic beverages, as they enhance the hypotensive effect of Lysoretic.
Influence on the ability to drive vehicles and complex mechanisms
Patients are advised to refrain from performing work requiring speed of reactions and high attention (including driving a car), especially at the initial stage of therapy, since Lysoretic can cause dizziness.
Application during pregnancy and lactation
During pregnancy and lactation, Lizoretic is contraindicated.
Pediatric use
Since there is no data confirming the effectiveness and safety of the drug in pediatric patients, Lysoretic is not used to treat children and adolescents under 18 years of age.
With impaired renal function
Severe renal failure (CC <30 ml / min.) Is a contraindication to the appointment of Lysoretic.
The drug should be used with caution in renal failure (CC 30โ80 ml / min), stenosis of an artery of a single kidney with progressive azotemia, bilateral renal artery stenosis, conditions after kidney transplantation.
For violations of liver function
Porphyria, precoma and hepatic coma are contraindications to the appointment of Lysoretic.
The drug should be used with caution in patients with hepatic impairment.
Use in the elderly
Elderly patients should be treated with caution.
Drug interactions
The effect of concurrently used drugs / substances on Lysoretic:
- non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and estrogens reduce the antihypertensive effect;
- vasodilators, tricyclic antidepressants, phenothiazines, barbiturates and ethanol increase the hypotensive effect;
- antacids and cholestyramine reduce absorption in the gastrointestinal tract;
- potassium-sparing diuretics (amiloride, triamterene, spironolactone), potassium preparations and potassium-containing salt substitutes increase the risk of hyperkalemia, especially in patients with concomitant renal impairment.
The effect of Lysoretic on other drugs:
- reduces the effect of oral contraceptives, anti-gout drugs, epinephrine, norepinephrine, oral hypoglycemic agents;
- slows down the excretion of lithium from the body and, as a result, enhances its neurotoxic and cardiotoxic effects;
- reduces the excretion of quinidine;
- enhances the effects (including side effects) of cardiac glycosides;
- increases the effect of peripheral muscle relaxants;
- enhances the neurotoxicity of salicylates.
