Lisinopril Tablets (Page 2) (Top voted first)

Updated

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?

Exactly Daisy. I called Lupin and they seemed to La La the situation. They won't admit the screw up but I have been forced to change to a different medication. Can't continue with Lisinopril that is hurting me

I just recently got a refill of 10 mg. Lisinopril. I thought at first that the pharmacy had changed the manufacturer when I opened the bottle and the pill was so small. I asked the pharmacist and he said that was all they were sent. I told him this new prescription was making me feel weak, lethargic, and causing me to have chest pain. I asked him to look up the manufacturer of the previous refill I had gotten and he said it was Lupin. I've never taken anything else and I've been on this for 10 years. I don't know what they changed but I am very concerned.

I'm having the same thing along with weakness. Something HAS to be wrong with that medication. I've been on it for 10 years and haven't had a problem. It's very upsetting.

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

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.

Tiredness and sore muscles are the side effects I am having. Never had it before and it started with the new pill. After the effects started, I looked for a posting board and found this one. Lisinopril is not the same as it used to be from my experience.

Agent J Are you a paid representative for Lupin Pharm? Everyone except you are having problems and adverse reactions with the new smaller pills

Barry keep on talking. I had horrible side affects with new size pill. The manufacturer actually had me return some of mi e from the batch I got to be anaylized. Agent J you are wrong. Just because you have no ill affects even the medical dept at the pharmaceutical company says they are getting a good number of complaints

I have also noticed the pill size decreased. Although I am not experiencing the same side effects, I do feel more light headed. I am about seven days in on this size tablet. I take 10 mg PO QD. I have always requested Lupin brand only as it was the only brand I could take with out feeling light headed. I presume that once my body regulates, the light headedness will resolve.

Yes, I take Lisinopril 20mg from Lupin Pharm and noticed the last refill that the pills were same color but 1/2 the size. Hope someone can answer, why?

Pharmacists just don't know. We must advise them and have them also contact Lupin Pharm. I am feeling so sick from those rotten small Lisinopril pills

Walgreens did it on the fly, without consulting my doctor. I'll have to file through insurance myself, but it's worth it. 4 doses now and the Sandoz version doesn't seem to have any negative side effects. My dizziness is nearly gone, too, so it's been a quick adjustment for me.

I called the manufacturer (Lupin) and filed an extensive report. They never had the courtesy to call me back. I suggest we all switch to another manufacturer. They will feel it in their pocketbook.

I did find out from the pharmacist that the 5mg pill did not change in size/filler. I am only on 10 mg PO QD so the pharmacist suggested that my PCP call the prescription at 5 mg 2 PO QD. My PCP agreed. I was on the 10 mg smaller pill for 30 days exactly with significant side effects. I changed to the 5 mg (2) PO QD last week and have felt exceeding normal. I suppose this is a fine fix until they change the 5 mg tablet.

Personally, I will be calling Lupin Pharmaceuticals first thing Monday morning to inquire re changes to this medication. I have noticed that it is making me very sleepy whereas the original Lisinopril did not have that effect.

Yes contact the FDA. Fill out form 3509B. I too had major problems with the smaller version of lupin lisinipril. My pharmacy ordered in the original version. They had some left. Now I'm fine. My dr. does not want me to take the new version so when my pharmacy runs out I will get a different brand.
