Lisinopril Size

I too just received the refill for my Mom's 10 mg Lisinopril tabs from Lupin Pharmacy,and have discovered they are half the size of the ones she has been taking for years. She is 93 years old, is very feeble, and uses a walker to get around. I am extremely concerned about whether or not to give her these new pills as I have read all the side effects people are experiencing. If she was to get dizzy or lightheaded the results could be disastrous. Does anyone have an alternative to this brand that may still be the same as the old larger Lisinopril tabs? Help

What are the markings on them?

The size of the tablets are irrelevant, what matters is her receiving the correct dosage, so they are effective.

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

Is she on any other medications?
