Information About Lisinopril

Lisinopril is an ACE inhibitor used to treat hypertension, heart failure, and diabetic nephropathy in Singapore. Available as a 2.5mg–40mg oral tablet taken once daily, it is HSA-registered and available on prescription only in Singapore. Unlike many other ACE inhibitors, lisinopril is not a prodrug — it is absorbed and exerts its ACE inhibitory effect directly without requiring hepatic conversion, providing more predictable pharmacokinetics across patients with varying degrees of hepatic function. A valid doctor's consultation is required before dispensing. Order Lisinopril online at DoctorOnCall Singapore with same-day delivery available.
