Label date: 20260101 · For learning, not clinical decisions. US label and brand information; always consult the current source.
Source snapshot checked: 2026-10-21. The source document and selected fields were compared. The complete card has not had an independent clinical review.
Mechanism: Inhibits angiotensin-converting enzyme, blocking conversion of angiotensin I to angiotensin II and suppressing the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system.
On both cards: Common side effects — Headache; Dizziness
Only on the Lisinopril card: Used for — Hypertension in adults and children aged 6 years and older; Adjunctive therapy for heart failure; Reduction of mortality after acute myocardial infarction in hemodynamically stable patients treated within 24 hours · Common side effects — Cough; Hypotension; Chest pain · Warnings — Angioedema; Hyperkalemia; Renal impairment · Interactions — Diuretics; NSAIDs; Lithium
Mechanism: Competitively blocks aldosterone receptors in the distal tubule: more sodium and water excreted, potassium retained.
On both cards: Common side effects — Headache; Dizziness
Only on the Spironolactone card: Used for — Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction, NYHA class III–IV; Add-on treatment for hypertension inadequately controlled by other agents; Edema in adults with cirrhosis or nephrotic syndrome when the specified underlying-disease, fluid/sodium and other-diuretic measures are insufficient; Primary hyperaldosteronism: short-term before surgery or long-term in the selected nonsurgical/adrenal-hyperplasia settings · Common side effects — Hyperkalemia; Gynecomastia; Nausea / vomiting · Warnings — Hyperkalemia; Hypotension and worsening renal function; Contraindicated in Addison's disease · Interactions — ACE inhibitors / ARBs / potassium supplements; Lithium; NSAIDs
Mechanism: Lisinopril inhibits ACE, lowering angiotensin II and aldosterone; hydrochlorothiazide is a thiazide diuretic.
On both cards: Common side effects — Headache; Dizziness
Only on the Lisinopril / Hydrochlorothiazide card: Used for — Hypertension when this fixed-dose combination is appropriate; it is not indicated for initial therapy · Common side effects — Cough; Fatigue; Orthostatic effects · Warnings — History of ACE inhibitor angioedema; Anuria / sulfonamide hypersensitivity; Contraindicated with sacubitril (neprilysin inhibitor) · Interactions — Diuretics (hypotension); NSAIDs incl. COX-2 inhibitors; Dual RAS blockade (ARBs, aliskiren)
An item counts as shared only when both cards use the same wording. If a card does not list an item, that is not a statement that the effect never occurs.
