| 5 | blood pressure | none | Having been on this for 7 years with no side effects that I know of, I can't believe the low ratings. The only issue I've ever had is that if I don't exercise and maintain a proper weight it does not control my blood pressure alone, I have to take lasix as well. | F | 44 | 7 years 40 1X day | 1/11/2015 | 5 | An additional b/p med | I am taking Lisinipril, and have had no side effects, but was not expecting any. Has been a great med for a second one for b/p. I really have zero complaints at all! | F | 56 | 7 years 20mg dly 1X day | 8/29/2014 | 5 | high blood pressure | None at all.

Wonderful value if it works for you. More expensive medications haven't done even half as much for me. Also think that the general mechanism for its function benefits my demeanor and leaves me more pleasant. Wonderful medication that is derived from viper venom. | M | 28 | 5 years | 10/14/2008 | 5 | high blood pressure | none | I was taking a high dose of Toprol XL for 8 years and my blood pressure was still was a bit high.

Didn't realize the coughing was a side effect (thought it was Sinus problem) until I switched to another drug. Loss of hair major concern & it was the drug that was causing this as I cut it back to 2.5mg per day and hair started to grow again. Now on Atacand which seems to be working fine for me. | F | 58 | 20 years 5mg 1X day | 4/21/2011 |
ZESTRIL (LISINOPRIL): Lisinopril is used to treat high blood pressure. Lowering high blood pressure helps prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems. It is also used to treat heart failure and to improve survival after a heart attack. Lisinopril belongs to a class of drugs known as ACE inhibitors. It works by relaxing blood vessels so blood can flow more easily. FDA Approval Date: 1988-05-19 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)
