The name of your medicine is Lisinopril Tablets. The active ingredient, Lisinopril, belongs to a group of medicines called angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors which work by widening your blood vessels. This helps reduce blood pressure and also relieves the workload of the heart in patients with heart failure and following a heart attack.
Lisinopril Tablets are useful in the treatment of:
• high blood pressure (hypertension)
• heart failure
• patients who are stable but have had a heart attack within the last 24 hours

Take special care with Lisinopril Tablets

Taking Lisinopril Tablets using other medicines
Tell your doctor if you are taking, or have recently taken, any other medicine. This includes medicines that you buy without prescription.
In particular, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking any of the following medicines:
• Beta-blocker medicines such as atenolol and propranolol.
• Diuretics (water tablets including those which conserve potassium).
• Other medicines for your high blood pressure or heart problems (antihypertensives).
• Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medicines (NSAIDs) such as indometacin and high doses of aspirin (more than 3 grams per day), which are used to treat arthritis or muscle pain.
• Medicines for mental disorders such as lithium, antipsychotics or tricyclic antidepressants.
• Potassium tablets or potassium containing salt substitutes.
• Medicines for the treatment of diabetes, such as insulin or those taken orally, to lower blood sugar.
• Medicines to break up blood clots.
• Medicines that stimulate the central nervous system (sympathomimetics). These include ephedrine, pseudoephedrine and salbutamol and may be found in some decongestants, cough/cold remedies and asthma medication.
• Medicines that suppress the body's immune response (immunosuppressants), treatment with allopurinol (for gout) or procainamide (for abnormal heartbeats).
• Gold (such as sodium aurothiomalate). This may be given to you as an injection and possible side effects of gold include feeling flushed, sick or dizzy and low blood pressure. These reactions are more likely to occur if you are also taking an ACE-
inhibitor such as Lisinopril Tablets.
If you are on desensitisation treatment, e.g. for an allergic reaction to wasp or bee stings, let the doctor treating you know, prior to the start of therapy, that you are taking lisinopril.
Your doctor may monitor your blood pressure and kidney function prior to and during treatment.
Please tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking or have recently taken any other medicines, including medicines obtained without a prescription.
Taking Lisinopril Tablets with food and drink
Lisinopril Tablets can be taken with or without food.
Pregnancy and breast-feeding
Ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice before taking any medicine.
Pregnancy
You must tell your doctor if you think you are (or might become) pregnant. Your doctor will normally advise you to stop taking lisinopril before you become pregnant or as soon as you know you are pregnant and will advise you to take another medicine instead of lisinopril. Lisinopril is not recommended in early pregnancy, and must not be taken when more than 3 months pregnant, as it may cause serious harm to your baby if used after the third month of pregnancy.
Breastfeeding
Tell your doctor if you are breast-feeding or about to start breast-feeding. Lisinopril is not recommended for mothers who are breast-feeding, and your doctor may choose another treatment for you if you wish to breast-feed, especially if your baby is newborn, or was born prematurely.
Driving and using machines
Your Lisinopril Tablets are unlikely to affect your ability to drive a car or to operate machinery. However, you should not perform tasks that require special attention until you know how your medicine will affect you as occasionally dizziness or tiredness may occur.

Always follow your doctor's instructions as to how and when to take your medicine; your pharmacist may be able to advise you if you are not sure. Exactly how many tablets, and how often you must take them, will be written on the label. Please read it carefully.
The recommended doses are given below. However, doctors sometimes prescribe different doses to these: if this applies to you, discuss it with your doctor, if you have not already done so.
Swallow the tablets whole with water. Take the dose at approximately the same time each day.
Adults and elderly patients over 65 years:
High blood pressure: If you are already taking water tablets (diuretics) for high blood pressure the (Hypertension) doctor may discontinue them, or reduce the dose 2 to 3 days before starting treatment with lisinopril.
The recommended starting dose is 2.5 mg once daily. This may be adjusted by your doctor until your blood pressure is controlled. The usual effective dose range is 10 mg to 20 mg once daily. The maximum recommended dose is 40 mg once daily.
Heart failure: If you are taking water tablets (diuretics), your doctor may reduce the dose of diuretic before starting treatment with lisinopril.
Treatment will be started under close medical supervision by your doctor or in hospital. The recommended starting dose is 2.5 mg. This may be adjusted by your doctor until effective control is achieved. (This is usually a dose of 5 mg to 20 mg.)
Heart attack: Treatment may be started within 24 hours of having a heart attack as long as your blood pressure is not too low.
The usual dose is 5 mg straight away, followed by 5 mg after 24 hours, 10 mg after 48 hours and then 10 mg once every day.
If you have low blood pressure you may start treatment on 2.5 mg each day. If you begin to get low blood pressure while taking the tablet the doctor may reduce your dose to 5 mg or 2.5 mg. However if you have continuous low blood pressure the doctor may stop treating you with Lisinopril Tablets.
Your treatment will usually last for about 6 weeks but if you have symptoms of heart failure, treatment will probably be continued.
Children:
Lisinopril Tablets are not recommended for children.
If you wish to stop treatment, discuss this with your doctor first as your original symptoms will return.
If you take more Lisinopril Tablets than you should
If you or someone else has taken more then the prescribed dose, contact your doctor or local hospital accident and emergency department immediately. Signs of an overdose include dizziness and palpitations (racing heartbeat).
If you forget to take Lisinopril Tablets
Do not take a double dose to make up for a forgotten tablet dose. If you have forgotten to take your medicine, take the missed dose as soon as you remember. If the next dose
is due within 8 hours, take the missed dose now and skip the next dose, then continue as before.
If you stop taking Lisinopril Tablets
Do not discontinue the treatment without consulting your doctor even if you feel better. It is important that you take Lisinopril Tablets for as long as your doctor prescribes it. If you have any further questions on the use of this product, ask your doctor or pharmacist
