round and pink ## should i beafraid to taje this med , i have had the prescription for more than a month ## does the drug lisinopril cause diabeties ## Lisinopril is an ACE inhibitor that is most commonly used to treat high blood pressure and certain cardiac conditions. Learn more Lisinopril details here.

It may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and dry cough. As to whether or not you should be afraid to take it, it is no more or less risky than any other similar medications, but such concerns should be discussed with your doctor, so you can make the most fully informed decisi...

I've been prescribed lisinopril 10mg for hypertension but I'm reluctant to start taking it. I've read the side effects and lots of things are worrying me. Will I become too hypotensive after the first dose? Will I still wake up the next morning? Will I constantly experience dizziness? Can I drink alcohol? Will I end up with kidney failure? Will I develop a cough? Are there alternatives? ## There are risks to taking any medication, however, it is a much greater risk to let your hypertension continue uncontrolled, because it is guaranteed to cause serious health problems and possibly death. Lisinopril works well for many people, with no serious side effects and there are always others, like myself, that are sensitive to it and experience bad side effects and must switch to som...

I have been taking this medication for over 12 years my doc has been wanting me off this medication say it cause kidney problems etc. wants me in lisinopril 10mg. I'm afraid of weight Gain & other side effects. The last 6 months I have had some vertigo & migraine. They feel that triam/htz is causing this. Lisinopril seems to have same side effects. Very confused ## Hello, Lane! How are you? Yes, Triam/HTZ is a combined diuretic, which works by removing fluid from the body, so it can be very taxing on the kidneys and they likely do need a break from it, after this many years. However, the other side effects risks aren't really any different between it and the Lisinopril. Typical ones, as listed by the FDA, may include nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination and h...

I received a new prescription for lisinopril 10mg. The bottle said Lisinopril 10 mg tablet lup previously and was a small round pink tablet. The new prescirption does not say lup after tablet and is an oval pink pill with #101 on it. Is this the same medicine. My pharmacist did not mention anythiing to me about it. ## The reason it doesn't say LUP after the pill is because that is the abbreviation for the manufacturer and your new tablet is made by a different company. It is, however, the same medication and the same dosage. Lisinopril is used to help lower blood pressure. Common side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, dizziness and headache. read more: Is there anything else I can help you with? ## I've taken 10 mg Lisinopril from Lupin for 15 years.

can i take vgr100 while taking lisinopril 10mg. please let me know ## Hello, Ocean! How are you? You shouldn't combine these, without your doctor's approval. Viagra can also lower your blood pressure, so combining it with the Lisinopril could cause your blood pressure to go too low and may put you in danger. The FDA lists the typical side effects of Viagra as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, stuffy nose, blurred vision and priapism. The side effect to Lisinopril may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, stomach pain and hypotension. Is there anything else I can help with?

my pharmacists gave me to different types of pills for 40mg lisinopril the new one has w942 on it it looks rose colored i guess is this right i cant find anything on it ## Yes, this tablet does contain 40mgs of Lisinopril, an ACE inhibitor used to treat high blood pressure and cardiac conditions. This tablet is manufactured by Wockhardt USA. Side effects may include: nausea, dizziness, headache and stomach pain. More details: Are there any other questions? ## My wife gets dizzy from the Wockhardt Lisinopril, whereas she did not from the Teva Lisinopril, all 10mg. Is this common to others?

My friend is on these three blood pressure meds but is out of the Lisinopril and hasn't taken them for three days. Will he be ok till tomorrow and what can he do to counteract the side effects of being out of the one? ## Since he is on the others, he likely won't experience any severe issues from being out of the Lisinopril, but of course, there is no way anyone can guarantee his safety. In the future, it would be best that he obtain a refill several days, before he runs out. The FDA lists the typical side efects of these medications as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, and hypotension. Is he monitoring his blood pressure regularly?

I am 71 but very active, I am also diabetic type 2 and take metformin and glibencizide every morning and evening. My doctor gave me lisinopril 10mg and bisocor 2.5 mg (half a tablet) for high blood pressure, I am keeping it at approx 125/75 with this medicine. My blood sugar is between 5 and 7 mml and my blood tests are okay. I have had a stress testfor my heart and that was okay, I am overweight at 110kg but am trying to lose weight. I feel shaky inside and lacklustre, could my medicine be causing a reaction. Every time I see my doctor, he sends me for tests and basically they all come back okay. I am not a whining hypochondriac, just a normal guy who would like to feel normal. I live in Zimbabwe where the medical facilities are not that great.

I took a dose 10 hrs. apart the 1st at 10 am and the other at 930 pm.What should I doww ## Hello, Pablo! How are you? Did you experience any adverse effects? That's not an extremely high amount to take, but the NIH warns that you may experience more side effects than usual, which may include nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, and hypotension. However, there is a chance your blood pressure could drop too low, so if you find yourself feeling extremely dizzy, fainting or having trouble breathing, you should seek medical attention.

Lisinopril - How old is to old to use this medication? My pills are from 2013. Does the pill increase or decrease in potency with age? ## Medications tend to decrease in efficacy with time, according to FDA reports. Although, it is interesting to note that a nurse practitioner recently told me that the U.S. is the only country that actually requires expiration dates for medications. I don't know if that is true, and overall, before using an expired medication, you should double check with your doctor, or pharmacist. The NIH lists the typical side effects of Lisinopril as possibly including nausea, dizziness, increased urination, hypotension, and headache. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I have 10mg lisinopril and the label reads "discard after 2/23/16." Is this me...

I take 4mg of Warfarin 5 days a week and 5mg of Warfarin 2 days a week. I take 10mg of Lisinopril once each day. I exercise daily and try to eat right, however I can't seem to lose any weight. Will there be any ill effects by taking lipozene along with my normal medications? Thank you in advance for your time, consideration and prompt attention I know you will give to this matter. ## Hello, Gin! How are you? I'm very sorry about the problem that you're having. Lipozene is a supplement that is claimed, but not proven to aid in weight loss. It has also not been evaluated for possible interactions with prescription medications or medical conditions, so there is a chance it may contain something that could cause blood thinning or elevated blood pressure and heart rate. Thus, I...

Hello, A family member of mine has a prescription of 10mg lisinopril once a day. Recently the pharmacy accidentally gave her a pack of 20mg tablets that she has been taking (thinking they were 10mg) for around 2 weeks. So her doseage has been 10mg for around a year, then accidentally switched to 20mg for 2 weeks. No side effects have been noticed. Is it ok for her to just go back to 10mg now she has realised?

I take lisinopril once a day at 9am. By mistake, I took it last night at about 1 am. Should I miss taking it for the rest of the day? ## What dosage do you take? While it is always best to double check with your doctor, the FDA usually instructs you to skip the next dose, then just resume your normal dosing schedule. Its typical side effects are listed as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, and hypotension. ## I take losartan 50mg at noon, I notice it takes at least 6 hrs. before I get a good reading. If I cut the tablet in half and took both halves, would it maybe kick in a bit faster.
