Frequently asked questions

When should I take Lisinopril?
Lisinopril should be taken at the same time each day as prescribed by your doctor. Your doctor may recommend taking the first dose before bedtime to minimize dizziness. If you tolerate it well, you can take it at any time of day thereafter.
What is Lisinopril and its uses?
Lisinopril is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). It relaxes and widens blood vessels, reducing the heart's workload and lowering blood pressure, which decreases the risk of heart attack and stroke.
Does Lisinopril affect fertility?
There is no evidence that Lisinopril affects fertility in men or women. However, consult your doctor if you plan to get pregnant, as it is not recommended during pregnancy.
Can I stop taking Lisinopril if I feel better?
No, continue taking Lisinopril even if you feel better. Stopping suddenly can cause your blood pressure to rise and increase the risk of stroke or heart attack. Long-term use is typically necessary for blood pressure control.
Can Lisinopril cause dizziness? What should I do?
Yes, Lisinopril may cause dizziness. If you feel dizzy, rise slowly or remain seated until you feel better. If dizziness occurs, lie down to prevent fainting. Avoid driving or operating machinery until you are stable.
Does Lisinopril affect blood sugar levels in diabetics?
Yes, Lisinopril may interact with antidiabetic medications and lower blood sugar levels. Regularly monitor your blood sugar levels if you have diabetes.
What should I inform my doctor before taking Lisinopril?
Before taking Lisinopril, inform your doctor if you have allergies to it or its ingredients, heart, liver, or kidney issues, diabetes, irregular blood pressure, or recent diarrhea or vomiting. Disclose all medications you are taking and consult your doctor if you are planning to conceive, are pregnant, or breastfeeding.
Can Lisinopril increase potassium levels? What should I do?
Yes, Lisinopril may increase potassium levels, especially in individuals with uncontrolled diabetes, kidney issues, or dehydration. Regular blood tests are recommended to monitor potassium levels if you have these conditions.
What lifestyle changes should I make while taking Lisinopril?
Adopt a healthy lifestyle by reducing salt intake, managing stress, ensuring adequate sleep, quitting smoking, and limiting alcohol consumption. Regular exercise and a balanced diet rich in whole grains, fruits, and vegetables are also beneficial. Consult your doctor for additional guidance.
What should I do if I develop a dry cough after starting Lisinopril?
If you experience a persistent dry cough after starting Lisinopril, consult your doctor for management options or alternative medications. Do not stop taking Lisinopril without consulting your doctor, as this may increase your blood pressure and risk of heart attack or stroke.
