Weight Loss On Lisinopril

Updated

I've been on 5mg Lisinopril for almost 3 months and have lost 6-8 lbs. without trying. I was only about 180lbs. to begin with. Will the weight loss eventually stop or should I stop the medication? Thanks....Tony

Lisinopril is most commonly used to help lower blood pressure.

Have you spoken to your doctor about this, yet?

The weight loss is not considered a normal side effect, but a rare and unusual one. Normally, most side effects start to wear off in 4 to 6 weeks of use.

It's very important to involve your doctor in the decision you make about the drug, since the weight loss could also be caused by something else.

Thank you for your reply. Rest assured I am not stopping or changing any meds without consulting my doc.
