Lisinopril Tablets (Page 2)
(Newest replies first)

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?

Thanks so much...This makes sense to take the 5 mgs dosage. If I lose a few more pounds I may be able to lower the dose overall. Thanks again.

I too had problems on the new pill. I contacted CVS and they are ordering in Lisinopril 20 from another company....I will let you know when I pick it up today....I guess that is all we can do either request from another manufacturer or change to another kind...

I have also been taking this drug (20 mg) daily for over 10 years...This May 2017, I noticed that the pill was much smaller and the color was a darker pink. I contacted CVS to question the change and they informed me that I was right. The manufacturer indeed had changed it and there would not be any way to get pills from the original formula. I purchased a 3 month supply via cash without insurance, but now I am about to run out. I had an instant reaction to this new rendition of lisinopril that left me very queasy. I just did not feel right and my BP did not maintain its normal level. This is why I questioned CVS pharmacy. I have allergies to a few things so I am concerned. When I began to need BP meds years ago, other BP meds were either too strong and/or made me feel out of it and uncomfortable. Any solutions?

Ask you doctor to change you to the 5mg pills. I know you'll be taking more pills for your dosage but the 5mg have not had their formulation messed with 10 and 20 mg had their inactive binders removed and it is causing many side affects. Mine was with my digestion big time. Since I was switched to 5mg pills I am fine. It took awhile and I ended up with two ulcers before I was switched

Has anyone felt awful when on the low dose of lisinopril 2.5 mg? It feels like I have a bad hangover 24/7 & very emotional. I've been taken it for 8 days now.

Just started taking then smaller 20 mg lisinopril, blood pressure was spiked around 168/90 and took 1+ 1/2 last night about 2 am, so blood pressure still up around 150 in the afternoon, took my ohther meds which help lower Blood pressure but also took another 1/2 lisinopril. It is 10:30 pm now and BP is 166/87. Something about the smaller pill is not cutting it.

Re: Marlene (# 94)

This is the same thing I did a couple of months ago... only after trying the 10 mg smaller pill. So far, since the 5 mg hasn't changed... I have felt great!

Re: Curious80 (# 4)

I called manufacture and they did change the size but the strength is the same. They said they took out fillers. I lodged a complaint because I am have side effects that I never had with the old size pills. Calling Doctor to change perscription.

Another case of years of satisfactory use and a sudden spike in my BP after the size change. Just anecdotal?

Re: Barry (# 93)

According to Lupin pharmaceutical the active ingredients are the same. They removed several of the inactive ingredients. I am now being treated for two ulcers. Immediately after starting the new formulation for three weeks my stomach was very messed up. My doctor changed me to taking two 5 mg pills instead of 10mg. The 5mg formulation has not been changed so far.

Re: ROJO (# 90)

Yes, it is something you should be concerned about. The manufacturer Lupin is off the wall and jerking all of us around. I gave up on Lisinopril and switched to Losartan.

Why is it every time I get my lisinopril it is a different size and color? It goes from small oval pink to now round and white. Can someone please tell me if this is normal or something I should be concerned about? Who knows next month, could be some strange color and size. It may be generic but what the hell is going on???

Hi Lyn - I did find a good substitute, or rather, my doctor did. It's Losartan - a "cousin" to lisinopril. I feel it works nearly as well, although I also had to change my HCTZ to Lasic for optimum results. I pray you have success in finding the right med for you! Thank you for your kind words!

Lori H., Thank you for your comments. I have been taking Lupin 20 mg for 2 years. Now, with the smaller tablet. I stay awake all night long...even if taken in the morning. I switched to Sandoz brand which I used to take and they have changed from an oval shape to a small round one...SAME PROBLEM!!! Let me know if you find a suitable substitute by another manufacturer. I'm wondering if the SAME MANUFACTURER is now making tablets for different COMPANY NAMES. I can't tell what the ingrediant in the "filler" causes this reaction, but of course, I now have a big problem. Did you find a GOOD SUBSTITUTE? I wish you well....
