Lisinopril is a medication belonging to the drug class of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors and is used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure), heart failure, and heart attacks.[7] For high blood pressure it is usually a first-line treatment. It is also used to prevent kidney problems in people with diabetes mellitus.[7] Lisinopril is taken orally (swallowed by mouth).[7] Full effect may take up to four weeks to occur.[7]
Common side effects include headache, dizziness, feeling tired, cough, nausea, and rash.[7] Serious side effects may include low blood pressure, liver problems, hyperkalemia (high blood potassium), and angioedema.[7] Use is not recommended during the entire duration of pregnancy as it may harm the baby.[7] Lisinopril works by inhibiting the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system.[7]
Lisinopril was patented in 1978 and approved for medical use in the United States in 1987.[7][11] It is available as a generic medication.[7] In 2021, it was the fourth most commonly prescribed medication in the United States, with more than 88million prescriptions.[12][13] In July 2016, an oral solution formulation of lisinopril was approved for use in the United States.[7][14]
