Lisinopril Tablets
(Newest replies first)

I have been taking Lisinopril 20 mg from manufacturer Lupin for years. My most recent renewal was the same color and Lupin on one side and 20 on other but the pill is half the size of the one I have been getting. Still says Lupin but I am concerned. Anyone notice the difference?

I'm taking 40 mg lisinopril, 2.5mg amlodipine, and .1mg clonidine. My BP is still high (180/101 just now). What more can I do to lower my BP? Are there other drugs my doctor should consider? I have a moderate kidney disease issue.

Same with me, pharmacy gave me a small greenish replacement in '15 and again '16. This change caused elevated blood pressure, head aches, irregular heat beat, shortness of breath, I was in er first time, after hours second...this switch was terrible for me...Lupin, manufacturer, changed formulation, old pill no longer available, this was new Lupin formula. Never again....I went to Mylan brand, no problems....last two yrs, pharmacy special ordered Mylan for me...guess what? Now, just back to original Lupin pink round leftovers at pharmacy because Mylan is backordered and not available. They don't expire till 10/2019, they are fine, but two 10's instead of 1 20mg. I cannot take Lupin's little green new formulation, from what I understand, Lupin has stopped producing Lisinopril?

Ever since I started taking Lisinopril 20 mg I have been getting ingrown hairs/cysts left and right. Anyone else have these problems?

I started Lisinopril 3 weeks ago and now notice that my vision is a little blurry. Did this happen to anyone else, and if so did discontinuation correct the problem?

My pill has changed in color from white to pink. On one side it has 420 on it and the other side 1 G. Is this still the 20 MG of lisinopril?

My Lisinopril was just increased from 30 mg to 40 mg. Now I'm feeling a weakness and rubbery feeling in my legs. Also just a general shaky feeling. Wondering if this could be caused by this medication?

I have recently been put on High Blood pressure medication, which, in my case, was Lupin Lisinopril10 mg. After 30 days on this pill, my blood pressure was not affected, not one tiny bit. Plus, the Lisinopril gave me a dry cough. I felt like I was taking a placebo. Well, I saw my doctor today and he put me on a new medication, Losartan, 50 mg. After taking one pill and checking my BP four hours later, it dropped the systolic 20 and the diastolic 10. What a difference.

Re: Michele (# 117)

No that is not true...the original had fillers in it. The new one is smaller and they (lupin brand) took the fillers out. Whatever they did it made a difference in the formula causing people to have problems maintaining their BP. Lupin is a manufacturer that makes Lisinopril but they are not the only manufacturer... Watson is another manufacturer that makes Lisinopril. There are other manufacturers as well. Ask your pharmacy.

Yes, you are right it is different. What ever ingredient they changed it did not agree with me. I asked CVS if Lupin makes the original 20mg formula and they said ye, but insurance does not pay for it. So I pay for it myself as it is not really that much and i am fine__just as I have been for years. Each time that I pick up a new supply, I check the size and color. But truthfully, it is only the new lisinopril that insurance will pay for. If you are being charged it is the original formula.

I had luck, thanks to this thread, in switching from Lupin to the Sandoz brand of Lisinopril. It was magic: my side effects disappeared and my blood pressure dropped to normal levels for the first time in a while.

Now, however, I hear Sandoz is discontinuing their offering of Lisinopril, so I'm once again in search of another brand or medication entirely. :(

I switched my BP meds to Lisinopil 20mg-12.5mg HCTZ within in a week my BP started to normalize, just got my BP checked and it is 128/78, my stomach issues resolved! Amazing that after a week off of the tiny pills I am almost back to normal!

Everything Barry is saying is true!!! I have been having blood pressures of 150 and above over 100 and above, as well as unexplained stomach pain, nausea and vomiting since taking the smaller pill! I take 20mg twice a day! I was in critical care for 3 days due to these mysterious symptoms! I accidentally found this thead trying to research the smaller pill!

I have been experiencing the same thing since this small pill, my blood pressure is off the charts and is probably going to prevent me from getting my surgery!

Re: Diane (# 109)

I have had to switch to Losartan 50 mg twice a day but my blood pressure is way too high. Took Lisinopril 20 mg for years with great blood pressure and they had to go mess with the formulation causing so many of us problems.

I have been taking 30 mg. of Lisinopril for several years and my blood pressure was good. I just renewed my prescription and the pills were very tiny, I noticed the difference but took them anyway. My blood pressure has been too high now with the new size. The pill says 30 on it and is made by Lupin. I still have some of the larger pills that I will begin to take, but this has made me very nervous today as I need to keep my BP down. I will be seeing the Doctor tomorrow and will share this with him. Something is not right as this only happened as soon as I took the smaller pill. Thanks for listening!!
