Description

Lame 5mg is a blood pressure-lowering tablet manufactured by ATCO Laboratories, containing Lisinopril as its active ingredient. It belongs to a class of medicines known as ACE (Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme) inhibitors, which work by relaxing blood vessels so that blood can flow more easily. This helps lower blood pressure and reduces the workload on the heart. Each pack contains 30 tablets, offering a full month’s supply for once-daily dosing. Lame is available only with a valid prescription and should be used under proper medical supervision.

Ingredients

The primary active ingredient in Lame 5mg is Lisinopril, 5mg per tablet. It also contains standard pharmaceutical excipients that ensure proper tablet formation, stability, and absorption. The formulation adheres to the manufacturing standards maintained by ATCO Laboratories.

Dosage Form

Lame is available as an oral tablet, containing 5mg of Lisinopril per tablet, supplied in a pack of 30 tablets.

Uses

Lame is primarily prescribed for the management of high blood pressure (hypertension). It may also be used to treat heart failure and to improve survival outcomes after a heart attack, often as part of a broader treatment plan. In some cases, it is prescribed to help protect kidney function in individuals with diabetes-related kidney disease. The specific condition being treated and the intended course of therapy should always be determined by a qualified healthcare provider.

How to Use

Lame should be taken exactly as directed by your doctor, usually once daily, with or without food, at approximately the same time each day. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. Do not stop taking this medicine suddenly without consulting your doctor, even if you feel well, as blood pressure conditions often require continuous management. Regular monitoring of blood pressure and kidney function may be recommended during treatment.

Side Effects

Common side effects associated with Lame include dry cough, dizziness, headache, and fatigue, particularly when treatment begins. Some individuals may experience low blood pressure, especially after the first dose. Less commonly, swelling of the face, lips, or throat, changes in kidney function, or elevated potassium levels may occur. If you experience difficulty breathing, severe swelling, or signs of an allergic reaction, seek emergency medical care immediately.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Lame should not be used during pregnancy, as ACE inhibitors like Lisinopril can cause harm to an unborn baby, particularly in the second and third trimesters. Women who are pregnant or planning pregnancy should inform their doctor immediately. Use during breastfeeding should also only occur under direct medical guidance, as safety data is limited.

Storage Instructions

Store Lame tablets at room temperature, away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture. Keep the medicine in its original packaging, tightly closed, and out of reach of children. Do not use tablets beyond their printed expiry date.
