After he started taking 40 mg of Lisinopril manufactured by Wockhardt, my husband started experiencing pain across his shoulders and upper arms. Has anyone heard of this as a possible side effect? ## Lisinopril is an ACE inhibitor that is used to treat high blood pressure and it is well known to cause these types of side effects in some people. Has he contacted his doctor? He may need to try a different medication. ## What happens if I took double dose of lisinopril-HCTZ 20 to 25 mg What can I expect to happen ? I normally take 1 pill a day.

Hi, I have white coat hypertension. Has anyone on the board tried taking Lisinopril, or another ACE Inhibitor to deal with BP spikes. I have read that discontinuing it does not cause BP rebound, so it seems that it could be used for dealing with brief episodes of high BP without essential hypertension. I wanted to find out because the drug side-effects being too severe, serious and numerous make it virtually impossible to take it on a regular basis. Many thanks. ## There are many natural alternatives for blood pressure control, that in my opinion can be more effective than prescription medication if taken seriously. So no, I don't think hypertension requires any sort of medication for life as long as you're eating right, exercising daily, and living in an otherwise stress free e...

Hi, I have been on Lisinopril 20mg for ~5 months. 10 days ago I started getting severe dizziness, causing constant balance problems as a result. My question is, whether the dizziness could be a sign of other underlying heart problems also caused by the drug. I have had arrhythmias since the time I started on it. But recently the dizziness and, leg muscle stiffness has become very severe. Should I get a holter test done? Many thanks.

Found a small pink pill that is round with a 5 on one side and scored on the other. ## i also found a round pink pill which looked like a 5 or a capital S on 1 side, scored on the other. does anyone know what this is? ## Lisinopril 5 mg is one option, Opana is another... and there are several other options. ## A small, round, pink tablet with a 5 on one side and a score line on the other is a 5mg Lisinopril tablet. The mentioned Opana possibility is actually octagonal in shape and isn't scored. Lisinopril is an ACE inhibitor that's most commonly used to treat high blood pressure and certain cardiac conditions.

is liprosil used for hypertension? ## I have an enlarged LV due to hypertension. My doctor prescribed me Lisopril for that very reason, so I believe so. ## I think the initial confusion here was caused by the incorrect medication name, it's actually called Lisinopril. It is an ACE inhibitor that's most commonly used to help lower high blood pressure and to treat certain cardiac conditions. The side effects may include nausea, dizziness, dry cough and stomach pain. You can learn more Lisinopril details here. Does this sound like the correct medication?

Is lupin 20 be used as a recreational drug? ## The pink pill marked "20 LUPIN" has been identified as Lisinopril 20mg; a medication used in the treatment of high blood pressure; diabetic kidney disease; heart attack; heart failure; and more. That said, I have no reason to believe that anyone would even consider trying to use it for recreational purposes. Whereabouts did you find this pill?

I have diabetes and my doctor gave me lisinopril to take for my kidneys. Mine says: 10MG TAB EON tablet oval pink (E 101) Gen. For ZESTRIL I have to take one every morning. My dad takes lisinopril, too. His are for high blood pressure, he takes one every night. His says: TAB 10MG Mf: LUP pink round tablet For PRINIVIL/ZESTRIL I wanted to know if they are the same or is there a difference. I need these to live, and I'm running out. My insurance has been taken away because my dad wins $10,000 more than he should. Can I get these somewhere else, I don't have anywhere to go and I'm afraid... ## The only difference between the two tablets is the manufacturer. Your tablets are made by EON Labs and you dad's are made by Lupin Pharmaceuticals, otherwise they are the exact same m...

My doctor is switching me from 100mg 2x a day labaetlol to 40mg lisinopril 1x a day how do the doses differ or are they comparable? I'm really nervous about switching I'm worried it'll drop my BP to low I've never had to take meds til I had my son and developed high BP from pre eclampsia I'm 21 my BP reads 150-130 top number and 90-100 bottom number ## What is the reason he gave for switching you? Labetalol is a great medication and also very effective, so if it has been controlling your blood pressure, switching away from it actually doesn't make sense. Learn more Labetalol details here. They aren't in the same drug class, though they are used for the same things, so you really can't compare the dosages. Learn more Lisinopril details here. ## The labetlo...

What is the name for Lisinopril/Hydrochlorothiaz TAB 12.5 in Mexico? ## Wow! That's a tough one, because it is Mexico and their medication regulation is virtually non-existent. If you are visiting and looking for a needed medication, your best bet is to just ask for via these generic names, Lisinopril and Hydrochlorothiazide, then just specify that you're looking for a combination medication. Learn more Zestoretic details here. In most cases, from what I've found, the Spanish names used there for the generic medications are very similar, so you likely won't have a problem getting help finding it from a druggist. For instance, Ampicillin there is Ampicilina. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Thank you very much, I appreciate this information

I am using Loprin 75 for the last 5 years. I am also using Lisinopril/HCTZ 20 mg ( for blood pressure) and Lipitor 20 mg (for Chloesterol) regularly. In USA Aspirin (NSAID) is available in 81 mg. Can I use this in place of Loprin 75 mg. ?? ## Hello Qamar, Based on my research there are potentially unsafe interactions between Aspirin and Lisinopril/HCTZ. Quoted below are the precautions you should be aware of: "Before taking aspirin, tell your doctor if you also use lisinopril. You may need dose adjustments or special tests in order to safely take both medications together. If you are receiving therapy with this combination you should check your blood pressure and may need your kidney function monitored. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, includi...

I have a round yellow tablet with LL on one side and B02 on the other. Different than previously obtained Lisinopril 20/HCTZ 12.5.

I did a hair folicle test last Aug. 18,2012. Result was posetive. I. m taking Lisinopril 20 mg, Bupropion sr 150mg and Atenelol. these are my prescriptions, will it cause my Hair folic test result as positive? ## It may have been caused by the Bupropion, it has been known to cause such false positives on some drug tests. Learn more Bupropion details here. Neither of the others have been known to do so. It's not that common on a hair test, because they are usually more precise, but it has happened. Did you take any over the counter products? They can also play a role.

lisinop/hctztab 10-25 non d. mulligan compatable foods ## Lisinopril with Hydrochlorothiazide is most commonly used to treat high blood pressure and certain cardiac conditions. That said, there aren't incompatible foods that cause problems with the medication. Learn more Lisinopril details here. Learn more Hydroxhlrothiazide details here. If you have high blood pressure and/or a cardiac condition and are taking this medication, then in regards to foods what you need to watch is how much sodium you take in each day, because it can elevate your blood pressure. You also need to make sure to take in the proper amount of fluids daily, to prevent dehydration. Are there any other questions?

I was told that Lisinopril WAS in the same ACE Inhibitor Class of Blood Pressure Medications, as Enalapril. Is that True, and how Comparable are they, to take, in regard to Doseage and Frequency? Thanks. ## Yes, they are both ACE inhibitors, the pril on the end of the drug name actually designates that. And Enalapril is actually twice as strong as Lisinopril, so you'd need to take twice as much Lisinopril to equal whatever dosage you were taking of the Enalapril. IE: 2.5mgs Enalapril = 5mgs Lisinopril 5mgs Enalapril = 10mgs Lisinopril and so on. Learn more Enalapril details here. Learn more Lisinopril details here. And the frequency is usually the same, they are generally taken once daily in oral form. Are you switching medications? ## Appreciate all of the GREAT advice,Verwon, on m...

Will Lisinopril compromise my immune system? ## No, Lisinopril is an ACE inhibitor that's commonly used to treat high blood pressure and certain cardiac conditions. Since it is used for cardiac patients, it would be dangerous to give them a medication that would compromise their immune system. On the contrary, our doctors are usually trying to do all they can to bolster our immune systems, because it can be very dangerous if they are weak and we get sick easily. ...trust me, my arm is still sore from all my recent inoculations! :-) Learn more Lisinopril details here.

I have been taking Benazepril 10 mg for a while, and my doctor has changed me to Lisinopril but the new dosage is 40 mg, is this dosage comparable to the Benazepril or is this an increase in dosage? ## From what I can tell, it's a slight increase and the equivalent dosage would be around 25 to 35mgs, however, the switching of the medications also has to be taken under consideration. When you stop one of these abruptly and switch to another one, even one that's still in the same class, as was done here, there can be redound effects to your blood pressure, making it climb higher, so your doctor may have increased the dosage slightly to try to help control this. These are both ACE Inhibitors, so the side effects should be similar and may include: nausea, drowsiness, headache and dr...
