I believe lisonopril is an ACE inhibiter, rather than a beta blocker.

Can anybody tell me - what is the difference between an ACE inhibitor and a beta blocker? Just curious...

My apologies for typing the wrong category in that old post, but the side effects and link are accurate.

Roy, the main difference is their mechanism of action in the body.

I'll include links for both, so you can read about each:

I was taking 40 mg Lisinopril which was a smaller yellowish pill with WW 270 on it, but when I got my refill it was a larger white pill with the number 4214 on it. Are these the same pill?
