Medication Summary

Medication Summary: This section summarizes DailyMed drug label information to make the label easier to understand. It is not a substitute for the official label, pharmacist counseling, prescriber instructions, or medical advice.

Overview

Lisinopril is an ACE inhibitor used to treat high blood pressure in adults and in pediatric patients 6 years of age and older. It is also used as add-on treatment for systolic heart failure and to reduce the risk of death in certain patients within 24 hours of an acute myocardial infarction.

For hypertension in adults, the usual starting dose is 10 mg once daily, with adjustment based on blood pressure response. Different starting doses are used for people taking diuretics, for some children, for heart failure, for acute myocardial infarction, and for patients with kidney impairment.

The label includes a boxed warning for fetal toxicity. Lisinopril should be stopped as soon as pregnancy is detected. It is also contraindicated with sacubitril-containing products, in people with a history of ACE inhibitor-related angioedema or hereditary/idiopathic angioedema, and with aliskiren in patients with diabetes.
