READ MORE ABOUT BLOOD PRESSUREMonopril, fosinoprilChemical NameFosinopril Ingredients Active Ingredients: Fosinopril Non-Active Ingredients: Lactose, microcrystalline cellulose, crospovidone, povidone, and sodium stearyl fumarate. Indications Monopril is used to treat hypertension, in the management of heart failure as adjunctive therapy. How It Works Monopril is in a group of drugs called ACE inhibitors. ACE stands for angiotensin converting enzyme. Monopril is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) or heart failure. Dosage Tablets (10 mg, 20 mg) Hypertension: The recommended initial dose of Monopril (fosinopril sodium tablets) is 10 mg once a day, both as mono-therapy and when the drug is added to a diuretic. Dosage should then be adjusted according to blood pressure response at peak (2-6 hours) and through (about 24 hours after dosing) blood levels. The usual dosage range needed to maintain a response at through is 20-40 mg but some patients appear to have a further response at 80 mg. Heart Condition: The usual starting dose of Monopril should be 10 mg once daily. Following the initial dose of Monopril, patient should be observed under medical supervision for at least 2 hours for the presence of hypotension or orthostasis, and if necessary, until blood pressure stabilizes. An initial dose of 5 mg is also occasionally given. Dosage should be increased, over a several week period, to a dose that is maximal and tolerated but not exceeding 40 mg once daily. For Hypertensive or Heart Failure Patients With Renal Impairment speak to your doctor to get appropriate dosage since the body does not process Monopril as effectively and special dosage is required.

This will result in abdominal pain. If pain becomes bothersome contact a physician. Patients receiving treatment with hymenoptera venom or patients dialyzed with high-flux membranes while receiving ACE inhibitors sustained life-threatening anaphylactic reactions. Monitoring is necessary during concomitant treatment with other drugs. Monopril can cause hypotension. In patients with kidney failure may cause excessive hypotension. If hypotension occurs, treat with intravenous infusion of physiological saline. In rare instances Monopril has resulted in jaundice caused by the obstruction of bile and death of liver tissue.
