I have been taking Lisinopril 20 mg from manufacturer Lupin for years. My most recent renewal was the same color and Lupin on one side and 20 on other but the pill is half the size of the one I have been getting. Still says Lupin but I am concerned. Anyone notice the difference?

Hello Kacey. It is definitely the new smaller pill that is causing adverse events with all of us. Lupin is the manufacturer and they have screwed up a medication all for the almighty dollar

Please let me know what you find out from the company I am a PCA for my grandmother and noticed with the smaller 10 mg pill she has been more tired lately I don't know if that's because of medication pill size change or something different? She's 96 years old so it really concerns me!

Has anyone noticed a health change after taking the new smaller lisinopril pills? Such as psi going up?

I had the same experience. I was able to switch to taking two 5 mg tablets. The 5 mg tablets have not changed at this time. My pharmacist and physician were both able to work together to get the rx changed. It may be worth an ask. I felt better almost immediately. Hope this helps!

I am also having issues which I never did until I took the new prescription, called pharmacy and they gave the same song and dance, but this will be coming out and I will be giving Lupin my hospital bills.

This new pill with some of the binders (inactive) ingredients has changed the way my body is responding. My gastric system has been affected with bloating and gastric upset within 24 hours of taking new smaller size lisiniprol 10 mg. It's not in my head. I've been on the larger pill size for five years and never had a problem.

Hi Barry - I didn't post the Johns Hopkins comment. And I completely agree with you!

In follow up to my original oat on July 8, I did call Lupen Pharmaceutical Co the following Monday. I discussed with them the symptoms I had experienced as well as the local pharmacy not informing me of the manufacturer's change. The company appreciated my input , but had no explanation for the adverse reaction. They assured me that the only change they made was making the pill smaller by removing some filler ingredients. Further, I am glad to report that the symptoms of sleepiness I experienced in the beginning have since subsided.

Lori. Doctors at Johns Hopkins are world famous but they really have no knowledge of the manufacture process by Lupin in making Lisinopril. We the end users know our Meds and know of a change in how our bodies tolerate these Meds

Since they changed the formulation of Lisinoprol, I started having side effects. I took the new formula for 5 days and then called the doctor's office. My doctor switched me to Losartan 50 mg and it caused swelling of my feet ankles and left leg. Also caused extreme weakness. Had to start taking a diuretic for the swelling. BP was a lot higher so I was switched to ANOTHER medication Norvasc 5 mg. Not tolerating it well either. THIS IS A NIGHTMARE all because Lupin changed the formula. I feel horrible and my energy is non existent.

When the medication size changed I received a pamphlet when I picked up my new scripts telling me of the change. Also said be assured it's the same medication. I also spoke to my Cardiologist about it, he too said it's still the same exact medication. I go to Johns Hopkins Hospital It's a pretty notable Hospital worldwide with top notch Dr's.So I'm pretty sure those that are having symptoms it's not from the change in shape of the same medication and you should make an appointment to go get checked by your Dr.

Let me get this straight: I said that the similar reactions of several random people from a cross-section of America to the same med (same name, same change, same timeframe) AT LEAST merited further investigation. You said that YOU had no negative reaction and you GUESS that would be the experience of 95% of people. Well, thank goodness for that rock-solid insight. If only we had known it was all about you, everything for us would have been all right.

Agent J. You are so blind that a reply is useless since your mind has previously been made up. Your comments indicate that all the people here who have had adverse reactions from the new smaller pill are deranged. Not the case. We are users for many years and know our medication very well and know how our bodies respond to our Lisinopril

Well, I take that same 20Mg pill, and I have zero change in any sense of feel or effect, I would guess that my "empirical" experience would mirror 95% of the users.
You all act like they changed the formula and added some mystery ingredients that have caused a absolute change in symptoms or relief. That is so incredibly unlikely it fall under the confirmation bias category. If that smaller pill was delivered inside a ball of bread and never seen to be smaller, I seriously doubt this thread would exist.

Agent J says the claims are not based on science, but that statement shows just how limited he or she is in the knowledge of the scientific process. A bunch of random strangers from a cross-section of America, with various differences in health and lifestyle, all experienced similar negative effects after coming into contact with a single common denominator: the new formula of lisinopril. Sounds like empirical evidence to me - or at least something that merits further investigation. Speaking of science, I'm no rocket scientist, but I'm intelligent enough to recognize when someone isn't interested in - or even capable of - contributing anything valuable or helpful to a group discussion. I say we ignore this person.

look Barry, you are contributing to group think and it is not based in science. Just admit it.
