2 Recommended Dose and Dosage Adjustment Essential Hypertension In patients with essential hypertension, not on diuretic therapy, the usual recommended starting dose is 10 mg once a day. The usual dosage range is 10 to 40 mg per day, administered in a single daily dose.
The antihypertensive effect may diminish toward the end of the dosing interval regardless of the administered dose, but most commonly with a dose of 10 mg daily. This can be evaluated by measuring blood pressure just prior to dosing to determine whether satisfactory control is being maintained for 24 hours.
If it is not, an increase in dose should be considered. The maximum dose used in long-term controlled clinical trials was 80 mg/day. If blood pressure is not controlled with Auro-Lisinopril alone, a low dose of diuretic may be added.
5 mg has been shown to provide an additive effect. After the addition of diuretic, it may be possible to reduce the dose of Auro-Lisinopril. Diuretic Treated Patients In hypertensive patients who are currently being treated with a diuretic, symptomatic hypotension may occur occasionally following the initial dose of Auro-Lisinopril.
