Lupin Lisinopril Pill Size Change (Page 5) (Top voted first)

I take 10 miligram Lupin tables - have been taking them 2x a day for 20 years. Today, I opened the bottle and they were 1/2 the size. Same markings on the pill and container, same color, same manufacturer but 1/2 the size. I asked the pharmacy assistant about it and she said the company was making them smaller but they were the same. I asked how they were doing that - were they removing fillers? Why did they have so many fillers in the first place. She said she didn't know, but would transfer me to the pharmacist. I asked the pharmacist and she sounded like she had been asked what the weather would be like the next day - "oh, I don't know...yeah...I don't really know." I don't feel comfortable taking these.

Yes, in most cases they have changed the fillers they are using, so the size of the tablets change. The FDA keeps a pool of them that they can pick from and they can use any of them.

What are the markings on the pills you have? Can you please post back and clarify?

The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, and hypotension.

I ended up in ER with a BP high enough they did a cat scan too see if I'd had a stroke. My BP on meds is always 130/80. That pill is the only change other then me losing 25 lbs. Also, my Cretinine number, which has been .81 for years went up to 1.2 in two weeks I was on Lupin new 20 mg. I switched to another generic see what happens
