Lisinopril Pill Size

I too just received the refill for my Mom's 10 mg Lisinopril tabs from Lupin Pharmacy,and have discovered they are half the size of the ones she has been taking for years. She is 93 years old, is very feeble, and uses a walker to get around. I am extremely concerned about whether or not to give her these new pills as I have read all the side effects people are experiencing. If she was to get dizzy or lightheaded the results could be disastrous. Does anyone have an alternative to this brand that may still be the same as the old larger Lisinopril tabs? Help ## What are the markings on them? The size of the tablets are irrelevant, what matters is her receiving the correct dosage, so they are effective. The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, head...

I take 10 miligram Lupin tables - have been taking them 2x a day for 20 years. Today, I opened the bottle and they were 1/2 the size. Same markings on the pill and container, same color, same manufacturer but 1/2 the size. I asked the pharmacy assistant about it and she said the company was making them smaller but they were the same. I asked how they were doing that - were they removing fillers? Why did they have so many fillers in the first place. She said she didn't know, but would transfer me to the pharmacist. I asked the pharmacist and she sounded like she had been asked what the weather would be like the next day - "oh, I don't know...yeah...I don't really know." I don't feel comfortable taking these. ## Yes, in most cases they have changed the fillers they...

Yes i noticed the same thing my 20mg pills were half the size I used to take. My BP spikes to 180 over 120 when normaly it was 125 over 75. I think they changed the pill, my Dr switched me to another BP med & everything is back 2 normal. Everybody taking Lisinopril should monitor there BP, dont trust it anymore. ## my BP has been running higher since the size of pill changed. I was before in the normal range and now it is reading much higher. Why is that. ## Pharmacist said no worries - same drug, but I don't believe it. Signs of ED which I never had before. I'm going to call my cardiologist and ask to switch to something else. Thank goodness for this website and glad people are willing to share. ## I too am having issues. I’ve taken 20mg for 7 years with no issues. No...

Are they now smaller? I'm concerned. Purchased a new refill and I'm finding the 20 mg pills are much smaller than my last refill. When did this occur? ## What are the markings on the tablet? I'm sorry, but I need this additional information in order to double check the information for you. It is possible that they changed the fillers they used, so the tablets are now smaller. The FDA lists the typical side effects of this medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased urination, and hypotension. Is there anything else I can help with? ## I take Lisinopril 10 mg also and my newest RX pills still show 10 mg, but they are much smaller. The pharmacist assured me that the dosage is correct. Still, it's troubling that the company hasn't provided an...

I've been taking lisinopril 20 mg twice daily for several years, filling it through Walmart Mail-Order whose supplier is Lupin Pharmaceuticals. The pills have always been pink and the same size until my most recent refill, when the size is now half of what it was previously, about the same as the hydroclorothiazide (HCTZ) 25 mg pill I take as well. Although the latter is pale peach in color while the former is pink, both pills are round in shape and the similarity between the two is quite problematic, especially for seniors like myself or anyone with poor vision, particularly when trying to distinguish between them in low light. Apparently pharmaceutical companies are legally allowed to change a pill size without FDC permission and with no requirement to advise customers of the chan...

My one year old Cairn Terrier swallowed 10mg of Lisinopril. Is this toxic? What should I do? T I have answered the word verification correctly several times now. ## Lisinopril is used in canines for the same conditions it treats in humans, hypertension, heart failure and other cardiac issues and the 10mg dosage is commonly used in dogs. Learn more Lisinopril details here. However, I am not familiar with the dosage for certain breeds/sizes of dogs, so I can only suggest you consult your veterinarian. Are there any other questions or comments?

My doctor has prescribed Carvedilol 12.5mg 1 in the morning and 2 at night and Lisinopril 10 mg 1 in the morning and 1 at night. My pharmacy recently switched to Myla and now the tablets are almost identical. They are the same size, both round and white, and both with a big M on one side. The only difference is the microscopic numbers on the other side. The potential for confusion is very high. Safeway Corp has mandated this switch. How do we get either Mylan to change or Safeway to change??? ## You can't. As long as the numbers are different, then they are within the bounds of the law. Learn more Carvedilol details here. Learn more Lisinopril details here. I understand how confusing it can be, but the best and safest thing you can do is to leave the tablets in their respective phar...

small round pink pill with E101 marked on it. ## Hi Mary, I located an "oval" pink pill marked with E101, that is identified as Lisinopril 10mg, used for treating high blood pressure and heart failure. For verification, the pill itself is reported to be approximately 10 millimeters in size and is manufactured by Major Pharmaceuticals, with a National Drug Code of 0904-5808 I realized you mentioned that your pill was "round", but this is the closest match I could find; courtesy of NIH. I hope this helps!

I can not find this pill online. It's round, light blue, with a large "M" on 1 side and "L 26" on the other. It's supposed to be 40 mg lisinopril. ## Hi Chuck, I located a match and I think the reason why you may have had trouble finding information is because the pill is actually depicted as being light green instead of light blue. Imprint: Capital "M" on one side and "L" over "26" on the back Manufacturer: Mylan Pharmaceuticals Active Ingredient: Lisinopril 40 mg Size: 8mm NDC: 60429-212 (0378-2076) Inactive Ingredients: -Silicon Dioxide -Croscarmellose Sodium -Calcium Phosphate, Dibasic, Dihydrate -Magnesium Stearate -Mannitol -Povidones -Starch, Corn -Sodium Lauryl Sulfate -Fd&c Blue No. 2 -D&c Yellow No. 10 Hope this helps!
