Redihope 10mg/12.5mg Tablet is prescribed alone or in combination with other drugs to lower the raised blood pressure. Redihope 10mg/12.5mg Tablet is also used to treat fluid retention (oedema) and kidney problems due to Type II diabetes in patients with high blood pressure. Hypertension (High blood pressure) is a condition in which the force exerted by the blood against the artery walls becomes so high that it causes health problems, such as heart disease.

Redihope 10mg/12.5mg Tablet contains two medicines: Lisinopril (blood pressure-lowering agent) and Hydrochlorothiazide (diuretics or water pills). Lisinopril is an angiotensin-converting enzyme or ACE inhibitor that lowers increased blood pressure by blocking a naturally occurring substance known as angiotensin II (that tightens your blood vessels). It allows these constricted blood vessels to relax and, therefore, helps lower high blood pressure. On the other hand, Hydrochlorothiazide (diuretic) works by increasing the amount of urine passed out from the kidneys. It effectively reduces excess fluid overload in the body and treats oedema (swelling) associated with heart, liver, kidney, or lung disease. This reduces the heart's workload and makes the heart more efficient at pumping blood throughout the body. Thus, collectively, both help lower high blood pressure, reducing heart attack, or stroke chances.

Take Redihope 10mg/12.5mg Tablet as prescribed. Your doctor will advise you on the exact dosage and how often you have to take Redihope 10mg/12.5mg Tablet based on your medical condition.

Blood pressure is the measurement of the force that our heart uses to pump blood to all parts of the body. Hypertension is a chronic condition when blood pressure is too high. This condition can lead to hardened arteries (blood vessels), decreasing the blood and oxygen flow to the heart. High blood pressure (hypertension) can cause chest pain (angina), heart attack (when blood supply to the heart is blocked), brain damage (stroke) and kidney failure. High blood pressure can be diagnosed with the help of a blood pressure monitor or sphygmomanometer. Systolic pressure is the pressure when the heart pumps blood out. On the other hand, diastolic pressure is when your heart is at the resting stage between heartbeats. If your blood pressure is 140/90 mm of Hg, it means the systolic pressure is 140 mm of Hg, and diastolic pressure is 90 mm of Hg. Ideal blood pressure should be between 90/60 mm of Hg and 120/80 mm of Hg.
