Lisinopril can have severe side effects for patients with certain conditions or those taking certain medications. Talk to your doctor to see if Lisinopril is right for your condition or if you should explore other options. This medicine may not be suitable for patients who have: 

• Allergy to Lisinopril, ACE inhibitors, or other ingredients found in Lisinopril 
• Are taking potassium supplements or potassium-based salt substitutes
• Blood pressure medications
• Diabetes medications
• Diuretics
• History of angioedema
• History of low blood pressure
• Kidney disease 
• High potassium levels 
• Pregnancy or breastfeeding

No, Lisinopril is not a diuretic and should not affect how often you urinate. However, this can be one of the less common side effects of Lisinopril. Your healthcare provider may prescribe diuretics with Lisinopril if they see fit to use both to manage your high blood pressure.

Regular blood pressure monitoring is necessary to ensure your health and safety while taking Lisinopril. However, it can cause serious side effects, such as:

• Severe swelling
• Low blood pressure
• Dizziness and lightheadedness
• Fainting
• Elevated potassium levels
• Increased urination
• Muscle weakness
• Abnormal heartbeat
• Liver problems
• Allergic reactions

In case of these serious side effects, seek emergency medical attention immediately.

Lisinopril typically starts to work within a few hours after the first dose. Most patients report a drop in their blood pressure approximately an hour after taking Lisinopril. However, it can take up to six hours to experience its full effect on your blood pressure. Lisinopril’s effects work for up to 24 hours, so it’s recommended you take your daily dose at the same time every day.

Avoid potassium-rich food, especially if you have high potassium levels in your blood. Some examples of foods rich in potassium include bananas and potatoes. Lisinopril can increase the potassium levels in your blood and lead to side effects such as muscle weakness and irregular heartbeats. 

Patients experiencing chronic high blood pressure should practice a healthy, low-salt diet. Increase your intake of fruits, vegetables, fish, lean meats and low-salt meals and avoid processed food, deli meats and other salty snacks. Consult your doctor before making any changes to your regular diet.

Inform your healthcare provider about any medications you are taking. Lisinopril can react to many other medications, including:

• Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs, such as ibuprofen)
• Other blood pressure medications
• Potassium supplements
• Oral insulin or diabetes medication
• Diuretics

If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. However, if you remember your dose the following day, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not double your next dose to compensate for the missed dose. Missing one dose is unlikely to lead to serious effects, but it should be avoided to minimize long-term effects on your blood pressure and risks such as heart failure, heart attack and stroke.

An overdose of Lisinopril can depend on the dose prescribed by your doctor. Lisinopril 40 mg is the maximum daily dose, which is often the typical maintenance dose. If you have taken more than your prescribed dose, you may experience side effects such as dizziness, lightheadedness and irregular heartbeats. In case of severe symptoms, seek emergency medical attention immediately.
