What Is Zestril Used For?
Zestril is prescribed for the treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension), treatment of a condition known as heart failure (where the heart does not pump blood around the body as well as it should). Zestril is also prescribed to slow the weakening down of the heart due to a recent heart attack. It belongs to the class of drugs known as
angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and works by widening your blood vessels which helps to reduce the blood pressure and makes it easier for the heart to pump blood to all parts of the body. This medication does not cure your disease. It only helps to control it. Hence, it is important to continue taking it regularly, even when you feel fine.
