ACE inhibitors act on particular receptors in your body and prevent a hormone called angiotensin from being converted into angiotensin II. Angiotensin II narrows your blood vessels and causes hypertension. Blocking the creation of angiotensin II dilates your blood vessels, lowers your blood pressure levels and improves your blood flow.
If you suffer from impaired kidney function your GP will prescribe a dosage no higher than 40mg.
Who can not take Lisinopril tablets?
You cannot take Lisinopril if you are allergic to any of the ingredients or any other ACE inhibitor. You may also be unable to take Lisinopril if you have a family history of allergic reactions to other substances. The ACE inhibitor is not recommended for use in pregnant women, and it cannot be taken after the first three months of pregnancy. Speak to your doctor before you start breastfeeding. Lisinopril should not be taken while breastfeeding, as it can harm your baby.
If you take lisinopril for a long period of time, your GP might check your kidney function and your blood levels of potassium from time to time. This may involve urine and blood tests.
Can I drive while taking Lisinopril?
You can continue driving and operating machinery while taking Lisinopril tablets, provided you do not experience the side effect of dizziness. Do not drive or work with machinery if Lisinopril causes you to feel dizzy, tired or confused.
Speak to your doctor before taking Lisinopril if you:
- are dehydrated (this may be the case if you are suffering from diarrhoea or experience dehydration as a side effect of other medication you are taking)
