   Lisinopril is a medication of the angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor and is used to treat high blood pressure, heart failure, and after heart attacks. For high blood pressure it is usually a first-line treatment. It is also used to prevent kidney problems in people with diabetes mellitus. Lisinopril is taken by mouth. Full effect may take up to four weeks to occur.Common side effects include headache, dizziness, feeling tired, cough, nausea, and rash. Serious side effects may include low blood pressure, liver problems, high blood potassium, and angioedema. Use is not recommended during the entire duration of pregnancy as it may harm the baby.

It is available as a generic medication. In 2020, it was the fourth most commonly prescribed medication in the United States, with more than 88 million prescriptions.

1. lisinopril

   Lisinopril is a prescription medication classified as an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor. It is primarily used to treat high blood pressure, heart failure, and to improve symptoms after a heart attack by relaxing blood vessels and reducing the workload of the heart. This allows blood to flow more smoothly and the heart to pump more efficiently.

1. Lisinopril

   Lisinopril is a drug of the angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor class primarily used in treatment of hypertension, congestive heart failure, and heart attacks, and also in preventing renal and retinal complications of diabetes. Its indications, contraindications and side effects are as those for all ACE inhibitors. Historically, lisinopril was the third ACE inhibitor and was introduced into therapy in the early 1990s. A number of properties distinguish it from other ACE inhibitors: It is hydrophilic, has a long half-life and tissue penetration, and is not metabolized by the liver.
