Is it possible the generic versions differ depending on which company produces the same pill. In Ohio, I took 40 mg. of Lisinopril and my BP was consistently 113/62. I moved to KY, now I take Lupin's 40 Mg Lisinopril and I cannot get my BP down past 140/75...what is going on? Nothing has changed except the manufacturer. My weight is the same, I eat the same. I cannot figure this out. ## Hello, Roz! How are you? Yes, there can be slight fluctuations in the amount of the active ingredient from one generic to another. Alternatively, you may also have just become tolerant to the medication, so you may need a dosage adjustment or switch to a different medication. How long have you been taking it? Do you take any other medications? ## Same problem since Lupin has moved around. BP up. - no...

I have for many years used this medication and found it the adequate treatment for my hypertension. Its accessibility over the past few years has been increasingly and aggravatingly sketchy..sometimes the pharmacy has it in stock; more often it does not and has to order making it necessary to order way ahead of need. This week another disregard for patients happened to me. I ordered my teveten a week in advance. Called today to see if it were ready as I was now out of pills! The pharmacist had to tell me that Abbott was no longer making the pill and neither they nor affliates of Walgreens could get any. It was their mistake in not telling me earlier this was the case although they evidently had faxed my cardiologist and had gotten no answer; therefore no order for a replacement. The pha...
