What is Fosinopril and what is it used for:
Fosinopril is a medication used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and heart failure. It belongs to a class of drugs called ACE inhibitors, which work by relaxing blood vessels and decreasing the workload of the heart. By reducing blood pressure, fosinopril can also lower the risk of stroke, heart attack, and kidney problems.
How to take Fosinopril:
Fosinopril is taken orally, usually once a day, with or without food. The dosage and duration of treatment will depend on the individual’s condition and response to treatment. It is important to take the medication at the same time every day to maintain a consistent level of the medication in the body.

• Dizziness or lightheadedness

Precautions and warnings for Fosinopril:
Before taking fosinopril, inform your doctor if you have any medical conditions, such as kidney disease, liver disease, diabetes, or heart disease. Fosinopril may interact with certain medications, so it is important to inform your doctor of all medications and supplements you are taking.
