Description

Lamoretic 20/12.5mg is a combination tablet manufactured by ATCO Laboratories, containing two active ingredients: Lisinopril and Hydrochlorothiazide. Lisinopril belongs to a class of medicines called ACE inhibitors that relax blood vessels, while Hydrochlorothiazide is a thiazide diuretic that helps the body eliminate excess salt and water. Together, these two components work through different mechanisms to provide more effective blood pressure control than either medicine alone. Each pack contains 28 tablets, supporting a full month of once-daily use. Lamoretic is available only with a valid prescription and should be used under proper medical supervision.

Ingredients

Each Lamoretic tablet contains Lisinopril 20mg and Hydrochlorothiazide 12.5mg as active ingredients, along with standard pharmaceutical excipients that support tablet formation, stability, and absorption. The formulation follows the quality standards maintained by ATCO Laboratories.

Dosage Form

Lamoretic is available as an oral tablet, combining 20mg of Lisinopril and 12.5mg of Hydrochlorothiazide per tablet, supplied in a pack of 28 tablets.

Uses

Lamoretic is prescribed for the management of high blood pressure (hypertension), particularly in patients who require more than one medicine to achieve adequate control. It is generally recommended for individuals whose blood pressure is not sufficiently managed with Lisinopril or Hydrochlorothiazide used individually. It is not typically intended as a first-line or starting therapy. The suitability of this combination for a particular patient should always be determined by a qualified healthcare provider.

How to Use

Lamoretic should be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor, usually once daily, with or without food, at the same time each day. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. Because this medicine contains a diuretic, taking it earlier in the day may help avoid nighttime bathroom trips. Do not discontinue this medicine abruptly without consulting your doctor, as this may cause blood pressure to rise again.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Lamoretic include dizziness, dry cough, headache, and fatigue, particularly during the initial period of treatment. Because of the diuretic component, some individuals may experience increased urination, low potassium levels, or mild dehydration. Less commonly, swelling of the face or throat, irregular heartbeat, or significant changes in kidney function may occur. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience difficulty breathing, severe swelling, or signs of a serious allergic reaction.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Lamoretic should not be used during pregnancy, as the Lisinopril component can cause serious harm to an unborn baby, especially in the second and third trimesters. Women who are pregnant or planning pregnancy should inform their doctor immediately and discuss alternative treatment options. Use during breastfeeding should only occur under direct medical guidance.

Storage Instructions

Store Lamoretic 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.
