Lisinopril is used for:
Treating high blood pressure alone or with other medicines. It is used along with other medicines to manage heart failure or improve survival after a heart attack. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.
Lisinopril is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor. It works by relaxing blood vessels. This lowers blood pressure and helps the heart to pump blood more easily.
Do NOT use Lisinopril if:
you are allergic to any ingredient in this
medicine
you have a history of angioedema (swelling of the hands, face, lips, eyes, throat, or tongue; difficulty swallowing or breathing; or hoarseness), including angioedema caused by treatment with an ACE inhibitor
you are in your second or third trimester of pregnancy
the patient is a CHILD with severe kidney problems
Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.

Gold-containing medicines (eg, auranofin) because flushing, nausea, vomiting, and low blood pressure may occur

How to use Lisinopril :

Important safety information:
Lisinopril may cause dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting. These effects may be worse if you take it with alcohol or certain medicines. Use Lisinopril with caution. Do not drive or perform other possibly unsafe

Lisinopril may cause a serious side effect called angioedema. Contact your doctor at once if you develop swelling of the hands, face, lips, eyes, throat, or tongue; difficulty swallowing or breathing; or hoarseness.
Lisinopril may not work as well in black patients. They may also be at greater risk of side effects. Contact your doctor if your symptoms do not improve or if they become worse.
Dehydration, excessive sweating, vomiting, or diarrhea may increase the risk of low blood pressure. Contact your health care provider at once if any of these occur.
