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 2022, it was the third most commonly prescribed medication in the United States, with more than 82 million prescriptions.[12][13] It is available in combination with amlodipine (as lisinopril/amlodipine) and in combination with hydrochlorothiazide (as lisinopril/hydrochlorothiazide).
