About this product

Overview

Co-Trupril 20/12.5mg Tablet is a medication that combines two active ingredients: lisinopril and hydrochlorothiazide. It is used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) by helping to lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of associated cardiovascular events.

Uses

Co-Trupril 20/12.5mg Tablet is prescribed for the following purposes:

  1. Hypertension: It helps control high blood pressure by relaxing blood vessels and promoting the removal of excess fluid and salt from the body, thereby reducing blood volume and pressure on the arterial walls.
  2. Reduction of cardiovascular risk: Co-Trupril may be used in patients at high risk of cardiovascular events such as heart attack or stroke to help lower blood pressure and protect the heart and blood vessels.

Side Effects

While Co-Trupril 20/12.5mg Tablet is generally well-tolerated, some individuals may experience the following side effects:

  1. Dizziness
  2. Fatigue
  3. Headache
  4. Nausea
  5. Hypotension (low blood pressure)
  6. Increased urination
  7. Electrolyte imbalances, such as low potassium levels (hypokalemia)
  8. Elevated blood sugar levels (hyperglycemia)

Precautions

  1. Kidney function: Co-Trupril should be used with caution in patients with impaired kidney function, as it may further reduce kidney function or lead to electrolyte imbalances.
  2. Liver function: Patients with liver disease should be monitored closely while taking Co-Trupril, as it may affect liver function.
  3. Electrolyte levels: Regular monitoring of electrolyte levels, including potassium, sodium, and magnesium, is recommended during treatment with Co-Trupril.
  4. Pregnancy and breastfeeding: Co-Trupril is contraindicated during pregnancy and breastfeeding due to the potential risk of fetal harm. Women of childbearing age should use effective contraception while taking this medication.
  5. Elderly patients: Elderly patients may be more sensitive to the effects of Co-Trupril, particularly hypotension and electrolyte imbalances.

When Not to Use

Co-Trupril 20/12.5mg Tablet should not be used in the following situations:

  1. Hypersensitivity: If you have a known allergy to lisinopril, hydrochlorothiazide, or any other ingredients in Co-Trupril, avoid using this medication.
  2. Severe renal impairment: Co-Trupril is contraindicated in patients with severe renal impairment (creatinine clearance <30 mL/min) due to the risk of further deterioration in kidney function.

Frequently asked questions

How should I take Co-Trupril 20/12.5mg Tablet?

Co-Trupril should be taken orally with or without food, usually once daily. Follow your doctor’s instructions regarding dosage and administration.

Can I suddenly stop taking Co-Trupril?

It’s essential to consult your doctor before discontinuing Co-Trupril, as abrupt cessation may lead to rebound hypertension or other adverse effects. Your doctor may recommend tapering off the medication gradually.

What should I do if I miss a dose of Co-Trupril?

If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed one.

Can I drink alcohol while taking Co-Trupril?

Moderate alcohol consumption is generally acceptable while taking Co-Trupril. However, excessive alcohol intake may potentiate the blood pressure-lowering effects of the medication and increase the risk of side effects such as dizziness or hypotension.

Is Co-Trupril safe for use in children?

Co-Trupril is not recommended for use in children under 18 years of age, as its safety and efficacy in pediatric populations have not been established.
